Sorry u had to give it the big weeny, but at least it's working. Glad
I could help, at least a little. When rendering support it's always
necessary to try to eliminate all the contingencies. U look pretty
stupid when, after an hour-&-a-half of helping some1 w/dead hardware,
u finally say, "uh, just for the halibit, would u look & make sure
it's plugged in", only to hear "o, my gosh, it isn't!" coming from the
other end. How do I know this? Ahem, well, uh, I think you've already
guessed. Once bitten...

Blessings.
