Thanks for that write up Frank. I already have the almost free RO 4.02 disk... I used that to set up RPCEmu Spoon on the XP machine, which I then upgraded to 4.39 (Being a Select subscriber). If I try it out later (Bit busy ATM) it would be on a desktop machine, so maybe the display would be a bit better. If I do the deed I'll let you know about that aspect. With regard to your 9th meeting... I live way down on the South coast in Bournemouth... nuff said methinks. ;-) Cheers Dave -- To unsubscribe or subscribe goto: //www.freelists.org/list/davidpilling
