Also should of asked if i look at the SIF file to see what the problem is on
that line, or what file name etc its point at. Question is this, within the
SIF file when i open it do line spaces and line headers count as lines to so
if it says line 5401 then do i look at every line or does it miss line
spaces etc ? any ideas ?
