  Thanks for the tip. I doubt I will use the "Super Patch" as the new version
is still unavailable and my need for completing this in a timely manner is
great. My much older (12/98), outdated, and inefficient version of the "Super
Patch" is corrupt so no longer works plus it is not available anywhere on the
net for download. I asked yesterday when I could have a copy of the new version
of the "Super Patch" and was told to "bugger off" (so to speak :).
