To be honest, I have had a number of crashes with Quanta in VPL mode. Usually 
it happens when editing tables.

Just from the project. My assumption was that Quanta simply did not save the 
project. 

(BTW. "I doubt that it was Quanta *that* caused it." Typically you only use 
"who" when talking about a person. )

I can't get the CVS to compile anyway, as it says there are some headers 
missing although I cannot for the life of me figure out why they are being 
reported as missing. I gave up after about an hour of adding include paths, 
etc. I haven't had time to go back, yet.
