Chris,
Ever considered trying www.google.com it is a marvelous invention.
Strangely enough I am familiar with Google, I'd recommend using www.google.co.uk personally, it does offer advantages for UK users sometimes (although not in this case of course).
I have spent quite a lot of time searching around using Google on this issue and have follwed a few leads but I don't have a solution yet. Asking on alug was just another approach.

How did that get here? :-)
I thought I'd sent it as a personal reply as the mail to me was sent that way. Lucky I didn't say anything too rude! :-)
