Lee - for the record there are some brilliant minds that participate in this
reflector and some are very generous with their time and willingness to help
others. If you have questions you will very likely get answers.....as George
says, it is a two way street. You would not believe how much George has helped
me....and then there is Carl and others...all very neat people. Just for the
record :-) 73/Tim Logan NZ7C
