Thanks for the link Jim, I'm just getting around to this certificate now,
I got swamped with some extra work that I had to complete first.  I looked
at the link you sent, but there is a small problem, I don't know anything
about Java:)  What do I do with the source code given on the page?  Should
I copy it into a text file and run it with the java command?  The only
programming language I'm familiar with is Perl.

Thanks,
Chris
