Thanks Martin, I will have a look.

One other question is to do with the Mac OSX platform. I noticed that
extension modules are compiled down to dll's - what form do they take on the
Mac platform, or can they even be created? I seem to remember reading that
these modules can be created for UNIX based systems - am I right?

Simon.
