Sorry Aaron, but there seems to be a slight confusion, I started a new
thread because the two recent problems don't seem to be connected.

This Mimemap problem *has* been with my older version of VRPC-AdjustSA for
some while, it wasn't until I installed the latest purchase on
Thursday/Friday I remembered and had a poke around to see...

Infact I've just done a test to confirm... With the Mimemap config working
correctly with my added line.

If I revert HostFS to the Fix Version then the Filetypes are still errant.
If I now put back the old HostFS version the filetype work correctly.

So it appears the Mimemap problem is not directly related.
Additionally it seems folks with a correctly working MimeMap Config tool
are still getting the same problems with HostFS.
