Yes ... I meant to make a post on this too ... (but evidently, Pat
beat me to it).    (01)

P.S.  Pat and All ... (in future) could we start a new thread (not

new topic, please. Anyhow, thanks for bringing this up!  =ppy

to us to view the current content?  Who is expected to use the
resulting product for what purposes?    (09)
