I saw it simply because it has no business being there. There is nothing wrong with my viewer if indeed I wish to see what is REALLY there which I do. My viewer is doing a way better job than anything else I have seen thus far. Also it does no harm that I can tell so why not see it? It told me that you were indeed deploying a cheat at your end. ;-)

I see no reference to it in fts-5003.

What would be the advantage of it? My best guess is nothing other than to further bloat and/or corrupt an already overbloated and somewhat corruptted so-called 'standards' that have little to nothing to do with real world standards.
Life is good, Maurice
