Thanks, Sonny John. When I can feel the periferal limits of my limbs again, I'll have a go at that. I rather think I've burned my bridges with Anchor #%!#$% whatever. They gave me a huge list of things I had to do to join their cowering masses.

I understand the concept of people being rewarded for writing software. I was in the business. But $ c60 bucks a year to watch a few minutes of BBC, Oh . . .
