Thanks John,

But it has been maybe an odd 9 years since I compiled anything, so if it makes its way into a build, please keep me informed. I wouldn't even know how to make a makefile anymore. UI, UX, graphics design and a wee bit of scripting (well,.. more hacking that is) is more my thing. I think I could do some work in Python, but I certainly do not consider myself a programmer. There are only so many hours a person can use per day and so many pursuits to follow..Sadly so, as I have so many interests ;-)

Cheers,

Jelle
