Sounds nifty to me! In fact, I've already added this to the page. Now,
if only my web hosting service felt inclined to accept connections from
me, I'd just upload it. I guess I'll have to go to work and do it again.

It's really amazing. Ever since it was sold to new owners a few weeks
back, my host will refuse to allow me to ftp approximately 1/3 of the
time, but only from this location. When I move to a new host, there will
be great rejoicing in the land.

Have a Useless Day,
Rob
