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
