That is a comfort. In fact, I was temporarily confused - by (lack of) 
alcohol? - thinking I was posting on a povray ng and not ot. ;-)

As for this particular brand of alcohol, it is most typical for the 
winter season, and more particularly when there is ice and skating is 
possible...

I don't know about those. I have an ancient version of PSP, version 8,

That's what I thought when you mentioned PSP8. I've should also have a 
copy of Ver. 4, somewhere. It fitted onto a 3½-inch floppy.
I like the program cheep, easy to use and can use Photoshop addons.
