Thanks for the warning John. No, I hold no illusion that I will completely
solve this problem through two days of reading. What I meant is that I will
have two days away from work to get some work done. What I hope to have by
the start of next week is a better idea of what I am up against. I am glad
that I realized this simple problem will require a complex solution before
I got too far along, and I really appreciate the learning opportunities
that have been offered here.
