I'm new at this site and have not posted my questions since I think you get one shot and then everyone misses the post. This may not be true. I too recommend roots.com/~deubay/ perhaps that is how I got here. Sometimes we lose track of where we are on the net. I want to thank all those who answer questions and especially Stefan and Marcella. I tried her site at rice but had no luck. Stfan has got some list. ej
