The answers are going out , but how are they being received?
Remember most on this list won't post for fear of getting FLAMED
and they won't do it privately because they have seen some of the hot shots 
post their private emails , so they lurk and think they understand.

Mike answered based on the information he had at hand , same as most on
this list.To suggest or lead to believe to others that they should modify
their tables , when you have no idea what is going though their minds is
risky.
In time new programs will come out, with the changes that need be made.Just
set it right , if Decom and the others don't work just say that and I know
a great many will get a kick out of it.
