Aargh! The OP had cross-posted this to multiple mailing lists and Gmail shows everything together in a single thread which led me to wrongly believe that the mail that I was replying to was posted to ILUGC and hence the above reply. I know that we don't insist on particular posting style here in this list. Thanks & Regards.
