Hello again Alasdir,
I've just tried your fix/mini program for getting to the
essentials of the BBC Iplayer andit works a treat. It
will
be a valuable asset, even in its current basic
incarnation,
to your WebbIE suite. thanks for the effort and time
involved
John.
P.S.: I would have let you know earlier but I've just
been
enjoying Monday's Mastermind, which I missed at the
time.
