Hi Steve. If you don't mind, since I know you and you are in the UK, I might import a book and then give you a call and we can compare notes as it were. I can try and replicate the problems you are experiencing and we can both come up with something together as to what issues we experience. I think this will make life easier for Steve Gomas over the big puddle.
