Paula,
You know that I usually do not respond with just a comment, but I do
have to say that you have helped me more than you know with this list. I
have been told that there is little hope for me to get my hard drive
back intact on my computer (they are sending me a new one) and your list
is very comprehensive. I do realize the time and effort it took for you
to post this.
Thank you,
Belle
