Got it. But for some reason I cannot get http://www.equi4.com/sdx.html to 
respond. Probably, the reason for this is that I am right now at the East 
Alabama LUG meeting, using the wireless of the place which provides us 
with a meeting place, and they are blocking what their net software 
perceives might be a download of illegal or salacious content. So I guess 
I have to quit for the evening.
