I believe it. I misspoke on the data areas not having most of the information needed to run the chain. I just had a document that had it laid out for me a fashion a bit easier to work with than running through the data areas manuals. It's my own fault for having next to no organizational abilities. Still hoping to find it somewhere on my PC here although years of clutter is making it hard to find <g>
