Hi John,

As I mentioned in the email I sent you earlier, it seems to be do-able
according to a cursory Google search.

Your best course of action to get help from the list is to post a reply
detailing the steps you followed in your attempts and what happenned (including
error messages) when you hit a dead end.

That way, somebody will probably be able to see what the issue is.

Best regards,

James
