Yes, you're correct.  The .arm, it's version 2.4.3.5, built Dec 15th 20=
03,
*is* embedded in the wg511icb.sys file.  I guess it 'could' be extracte=
d,
but looking at the 'other' arm files, this one has a different prologue=
,
before the eyecatcher, so I'm not sure it's possible to know 'exactly'
where the arm file starts.  Also, there doesn't appear to be a length f=
ield
in the arm, to know how much to extract.

This is going to make it 'tough' to keep up to date.

Cheers,
Eddie=
