How did you search?

It took me just 2 minutes to search the mailing list  archive  (which
appears  to be warking at the moment - big surprise!). Here is what I
got:

And now for the funny part of the story: guess who  was  asking  this
question half a year ago, and received a detailed reply???

Guess who???

Don't you remember???

It was a person named "Tom Guilliams <tguilliams at san.rr.com>".

Funny coincidence, isn't it?


[No, I ain't going to make this a FAQ just because the  same  persons
asks the same question againa and again.]

Best regards,
