I'll have another go at perceus then.  I'll read the docs more
carefully over the weekend and try again on Monday.  In the meantime,
I have to do some work, unfortunately.

The boxes I'm using at the moment have 128 to 256 MB of RAM.  (My
colleagues here seem to buy a new office machine each about every two
years.  I have a standing order with our computer guy - havn't bought
a computer in 10 years).  I'll look again at the perceus web site.

No doubt I'll be back asking questions again next week.

Thanks again for the help,
Roger
