Hi Thomas - yes, all good suggestions. I have these and/or similar on my 
list to check when I have a few minutes. I did look for the .dll yesterday 
but didn't note down the results

I am not desperate enough to use VR3 to try your option (3), I really just 
want to have VR3 there in my 'cutting-edge' ;-: Leo to try a few 
experiments.

I will update in a bit

Thanks, J^n
