On to happier things... This tool looks quite cool Ave. I'll download and have a go.

Time to 'fess up. Tom Loosemore did not send the above message, I did. I spoofed his email address in the crudest way possible. Check the headers if you don't believe me. it was intended as a gag, and one that I fessed up to almost immediately. Unfortunately, my earlier confession got eaten by the mailing list server, because I sent it from my real (stefan at whitelabel.org) address, not the one with which I'm actually subscribed to this list, which is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Since the majordomo (stupidly, although may not as stupid as me) swallows messages from non-subscribed addresses, rather than bouncing them, I didn't notice. Tom is great. Ave is great. I'm a dumbass. calm down everybody. stef - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
