Let's not forget that the Roger "Ex-Merge" Seielstad tool works best when used in conjunction with the Jeff "Mr. CSV" Eskens add-on. Please note that the Jeff "Mr. CSV" Eskens add-on tends to mutter "I'm just a fvcking contractor" and requires large quantities of a substance known as MGD, in even numbers only. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
