Hmm... sorry for all the duplicate posts. I've sent this one from
through Google Groups (hopefully only 1 will appear), all my previous
posts were sent through A2Central new server. I'm not sure what's
going on, but reading the newsgroups from the A2Central feed only
shows one message.

Anyway, my apologies for all the unnecessary clutter.  :-)

Cheers,
Mike
