hi,
an honest question, no offense intended: are my list postings being received? I posted almost identical info several hours ago. no solutions, but it might have saved you some work, at least... :tim -- timothy driscoll molvisions - molecular graphics & visualization <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:wake forest Robert B.
