The last posting I saw by that person, was from about January of February f last year, where he advised that he was moving away to work on a PhD, and so would not be able to work on the project for a while. That was why I had asked whether the project was still active - I had assumed that someone else may have taken over from him, to continue the project. Thank you for your response, anyway. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
