Since Jack let the proverbial cat out of the bag... I was contacted by Garmin and asked to carry the code on my site as they will probably discontinue archival versions shortly. The whole thing is being driven at Garmin's invitation to do so. My pages are built in a very strict fashion as dictated by Garmin's legal department. They are aware of what I'm doing and fully condone it. -- John Perry perry@jpunix.com PGP-encrypted e-mail welcome!
