     You are welcome, Deacon Blue. Glad the info from John Link's article
helped.

     By the way, the oscillator pin numbering shown, i.e. 

>>
square corner ---> 1    3

                   2    4
<<

comes from the early 1990's article and is kind of dated. Today, the numbering
shown in catalogs, etc. usually numbers the pins according to how the
oscillator module would fit into a standard IC socket. So, for a half-size
oscillator module (which would plug into an 8-pin socket), modern numbering
would be ...

square corner ---> 1      8
                   -      -
                   -      -
                   4      5
