What is the case of the gif file ?

is it .gif or .GIF ?

It matters in LINUX

OK,
tried it all again. but still no joy.
I had already put the script into the ..maps/Local directory but hadn't
changed the permissions so I did that. No go.

Had a CLOSE look at the script, but I'm no Perl programmer I can tel you.

There  was a print line commented out which would give me a clue how far
the script was getting

>> 	print "Looking for $try_filename\n";		<--UNCOMMENTED
THIS

problem\n" ;

Run it

mildura-ne250.inf

So it gets to the Print "Looking for $try_filename\n";
Not sure what the next line does but somehow I think the

Attached is the .inf in question.

Had to resend, koala didn't like the .inf extension!
