Thanks amigo, yes been getting quite a collection of links to online sites - I haven't tried each one of these to be sure they still work, but of those I posted, I know they were working fairly recently. Some really good sites have gone "poof" too so now if it is privately owned I would check it before posting it.

I would bet that you have quite a collection yourself, <hint hint? :mrgreen: >

I used to have a lot of them, but they didn't survive a hard drive crash.
