Thanks for the information, Rick. The diversity of this list continues to amaze me. Are there any questions that go unanswered by an expert in that field? I just received an e-mail from Don (first of all, I'm amazed that he's even responding to "best wishes" at this point - he just had surgery yesterday or the day before for God's sake!). Don's remark was that he's feeling "pretty beat up". Your words are very encourageing, though, Rick. BTW, WRT to the PDML "family album", I think the TOPDML guys would love to get together and do up a "group portrait". Yo, Dave, Dave, Vic, Aaron, Jeff (the latter two don't post anymore). Sounds like an excuse for some micro-brew at C'est What! <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
