Hi Faré,
just saw your posting. I'm curious what your are abot to do.
For a little backgroud of mine see askemos.org . (Let's hope it
works. We had to move to a new location and for some reason I haven't
had a chance to debug till now, it suddenly stops running every now and
then. So if it does not give you an answer, come back later and give
me a hint.)
Best
/Jörg
