For the record, the Ophone bank is NOT of my creation. All I did was 
download the file, comment on the uniqueness of the voices, and 
repost the file as a favor when Xavier reported the problem. These 
are not my Voices. I'll reload them to the ophone folder if the 
proper owner does not...

Wow. Thanks for the terrific follow up (as always) Gary. Good of you 
to spend time on this. It's a pretty rare phenomena to have so_many 
comments in a file. Considering how long AN1xEdit has been in use I 
don't think too many users have been affected by such a minor bug. 
Now we know if there's a next time.

Regards,
Jon
