Kat,
Thanks for the link (and Bardford, too!). As a history buff and a voracious reader, it's a real find! Be sure to check out the treasure trove available at Project Gutenberg, too. 1000's of out of print and interesting titles, all in "plain vanilla text".
Find it at www.gutenberg.org (no time to blicky tonight, I'm afraid!)
sounds like a job for
joclone:-)
