I have no idea what is going on. It may be useful for us to visit Jeffco and take a look. I can go, but the visit would have to wait until Friday at the earliest since I am in Fraser at the moment for two days of skiing :-) Cheers, Tom -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ * Tom Yoksas UCAR Unidata Program * * (303) 497-8642 (last resort) P.O.
