Torsten Posted December 21, 2002 what a mess. Tried to insert this as a html table in Ed's post, but it just made a mess of it (sorry). Then did it in my own post and it still creates a shitload of useless space. No idea how to get rid of it. Anyway, I thought this data was important enough to make sure it was in a readable format. Thanks Ed (& Michael) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
