Yup, that is exactly what I would do and have done in the past.  Works a
treat too.

Yes, yes it would and one of the USA support engineers even got a prototype
working with Gazelle.  The work was scrapped by the Exec as it would cost
money for no perceived benefit. Head/keyboard/tears.

It's enough to make one scream.

Sorry for venting.
