It's clear.  The disappointing thing was to find truncated
names in the .hp file, too...  Btw, a wonderful XML tool is
coming, isn't it? :) Till then, a switch would be more than
enough.  The .prof file also helps.  And the letters could
be smaller, and the text could be wrapped, and...  For a
screen view (I've never printed a profile) almost everything
will do.

On the other hand, I've already found the problem with my
code (the heap profiler helped much), so I'm coding away
happily!  Thanks for the good work!
