Perhaps one should never say, 'no way', Franck?  There usually always is
a way.  Change is good.   Besides, those -o strings of yours ARE without
doubt, very wierd and counter-intuitive indeed! (HO).

Unfortunately, I'm not really that au-fait with the code base.  I'd
also need to install swftools first!   When I get chance I will do
just that, and see what I can find out.  However, meantime, I am sure
someone else, more familiar with the code base may possibly be able
to point you in the correct direction.

Regards,



Chris.
