Checks

[Gregory Forster]

Well, I looked over the documentation.  It all seems to assume you are 
using a Linux operating system.  Unfortunately, I am using Windows 7 Pro 
64. I had a tough time finding the default check files.  They are 
located in the C:\Program Files (x86) subdirectory.  I had to use 
OpenOffice to look at them.  Even with Linux, you need another software 
program - uuidgen to create the unique Guid identifier for each check 
file.  With  Windows, I wouldn't even know what program to use to create 
the check file. Though it uses a .chk extension, is it a text file?  To 
look at a default file, OpenOffice has to use an ascii filter.
