Well, the truth is that when I started working on it, I had no idea I would ever finish it. Whilst I appreciate that it may have saved duplication of effort, had I announced my intention I would have felt committed to coming up with the goods. Without going into detail, my personal circumstances are such at the moment that I am unable to commit myself to any project no matter how big or small. Anyway, Mark has mailed me so I'll let him take a look at what I've done and see if he has anything to add/change and we'll take it from there. Clive -- C Messer. Epos Systems.
