Hi Andreas,

That's no problem. When I was working through the code at the time, I
felt that it was pretty incomplete - there was a lot of stuff that
seemed to happen by magic! The registration stuff was indeed a case in
point which I remember.

Anyway, I was glad to be able to help, even if it went nowhere in the
end. Please feel free to call on me in the future.

Ray.
