Hi Ton

Today i have installed this library on a new PC and i notice this package is not correct. All vi's have broken arrow on them because library file seems to be bad. If you disconnect each vi  from this library, the vi's become ok.

I  looked on my old PC under XP and see  same thing.

Best regards

Eric Bobillier
