thanks..might have not checked that on the oks card..

too much fear in the world getting this stuff up...one shot and if your

oppisite or card may catch fire...funny how those little additions are
always the 1 bit of documentation that did not survive the decades..in the
bundle of stuff you got at the garage sale or on ebay
