try using newhidups if possible as it will replace hidups.<br>
the best is to retrieve the development cvs, call newhidups<br>
in debug level 2 (ie "newhidups -DDDDD auto") and send back<br>
the tree dumped to add support for these models. You'll have to<br>
make a small bit of work yourself, but it's quite easy and you won't<br>
regret it ;-)<br>
<br>
According to your results, I'll update the compatibility info...<br>
