Hi Lew,

 Understand what you are looking for now.
 Spent most of today at two university librarys looking for info.
 Will look more tomorrow. Think I have found some relevant information,
which I will compose into a posting, sometime later today (wednesday).
Hope other listers are doing the same,looking for info. :-)
 Some of what I`ve come across is very technical and may need mailing by
post to you. Please send address. The e-mail does not have the
nessessary characters to write it.

  Bless you  Bob Lee
