Normally it would pick that  up but it hasn't here (possibly due to the last character in the file being  a dollar sign) and when scramble looses it it can do some pretty weird  things.  A look at scrambled.txt will show where the DMDX error is coming  from but you need to remove the first dollar sign before the parameters.                                                 /"\\   -jonathan (j.c.f.)                            \\ /                                                  X      ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL  / \\    Man is clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.                                               - Albert Schweitzer
