SQPROOF.DB
List.mdb
SQPARSE.DAT
Upon successful download, Restart CSDS.

properly. This has been an on-going issue with CSDS. I've waivered
back and forth from allowing 1 1/2 to mean 1 & 1/2. There are some
instances where CSDS will translate 1 1/2 into 1 & 1/2, such as when
importing SD sequences. It is best, however to always use an ampersand
or plus.

on multiple lists (i.e., Recycle, Explode, Chain Reaction, and Rotate),
