Of course there are, but there was a *lot* of developemental work that went into it. Quite a bit of it was to solve the problem I referred to. I never said it wasn't feasible, just that I'm not sure I would want to tackle it as a garage/backyard project. -- Bob Holtzman The most dangerous ones aren't the ones who don't know.
