Thanks Bill, that does sound like a nice way of making utilities
available to multiple projects. Is the buildpublic mechanism documented
anywhere? I found mention of it on the forums once I knew to look for
it, but Find in Files didn't find it anywhere in the Help tab.

I'm not sure if the minimal response to my post was because:
A. not many people use Link Project
B. my post was so longwinded that it put people off reading/answering.
C. trying to explain how to use Link Project is complex and would result
in longwinded posts like my original one
