Ho hum....
If the people who are affected email me the results, I'll include them in the 
survey. That way we can be sure it's not being fudged.
At least until I find a proper solution....

True, true, but if we go to the hassle of doing something based on this, I'd 
like to sure the results are accurate... I don't want someone fudging it just 
to get a meeting in Slough (as a yet unamed teenager has been hinting 
at !!! :-))) )

Hey no problem, I orginally allocated 1/2 hour to this, and it's now become a 
mini project. I've spoke to the original author who no longer cares too much 
about the script, and he agrees to let me release it on sourceforge !!! 
It's been fun though, you lot are a hard bunch to please :-)))) !!!

involved in testing things (spec. software)
