It's a source code change, too, but a fairly straightforward one. Mostly a
matter of adding more user interface the first time the program runs. It's
the sort of thing that commercial developers can be talked into pretty
easily, if there is a possibility of a good reference account or even
revenue! ;-)
Bob -- if you interested in pursuing this (good test and reference accounts
are worth more than money right now, anyway!) just drop me a line.
