Thank you to everyone who has replied and I apologise for not responding personally - something I hope to do over the Easter weekend. Ive had a small personal health crisis - a detatched retina was the initial diagnosis. Fortunately this proved not to be the case but as you can all imagine Ive spent a lot of the last week talking to doctors rather than getting the GTV-6 running For those who like wikipedia, search for posterior vitreous detachment. I hate getting old but the other alternative is worse...
