[Mike Lehman]

Phil,
I will to take a look at, next time I regain access to the website. 
Unfortunately, since the server relocation I have not been able to 
access the website from my home computers and no one I have spoken with 
seems to know of a fix. I have ocassional access when I am not at home, 
butI can't promise you when I might be able to help. Perhaps someone 
else can take care of this?
