Robin, so sorry about your power surge, that just happened to me, 2nd time in 10 years, if there is anything I can do to help let me know. I am about to get my new computer back with at least half the information I had. Thanks for me sharing my findings I have had my family return copies. I have updated the Manning's and Davis's if you need copies of them again.
