PS: Forgot to add that you should see processing times of 12-16 hours give or take. You may also want to down load setispy from http://pages.tca.net/roelof/setispy/ It will allow you to monitor your progress etc. It is a most excellent program. ------------------------------------- Allan Robbins Project Argus Station FM17dk "Until they come to see us from their planet, I wait patiently.
