Default Re: double line in components.txt

When you email him, you might remind him that he'd promised to fix this in the 1.35 patch but probaby just forgot. :-)

BTW, if you ever write a techarea compare program, be aware that one techarea has a couple of lines that are out of order--i.e. if all the other techareas have field-a then field-b then this techarea has field-b then field-a. I forget where that is now.

A repeated line is annoying but no big deal. But if you're code assumes that order matters, then the glitch in the techarea file might cause some more severe problems. When the fix didn't come out in the 1.35 patch, I modified my code to assume the field order doesn't matter in my CompHTML and TechView programs.
