Thats OK, I'm no zealot - I write stuff in VB because I can, although I am trying to learn a bit of PHP at the moment my PERL is very weak. I look forward to some alternate views on my attempts

I missed it the first time around, but I still have it saved so I will take a look. Thanks for the reminder. I am bit of a Perl bigot, and I have not yet shaken the tendency to rewrite everything in sight... But I will certainly take a peek to look for ideas to steal. - Pat P.S. In case it is not obvious, I have taken a renewed interest in this project. Russell's volunteering to help with development is a big part of that, and Rosario's PowerPoint slides really pushed it over the edge :-). I hope to make some good progress over the next couple of weeks.
