Dear Frank

Thanks a lot for the answer. Following the latest Gillian's answer: 
"...I'm not sure when the CreateCopy functions were added to MFF/MFF2, 
but I guess that occurred after the OpenEV 1.54 build."
I understand now a problem. The only think now is to wait for new 
version of your realise and for now use both: your old realise and new 
from Atlantis.

Thanks a lot!
