hello

i would note that the Warning:
<begin quote>
> "WARNING: Segment not found (xxx)"
> "WARNING: There may be a gap near yyy secs in programme"
<end quote>

Indicates that there "MAY BE A GAP", the operative word being "MAY"
it is not saying that there is definitely a gap.
given the wording of the warning message, it would seem that one would
have to view the program in its entirety to determine if such a gap does in
fact exist.
