This one is your project exactly:http://www.jlconline.com/cgi-bin/jlc...c21ccb012c0f6d...

Here is one other approach:http://www.jlconline.com/cgi-bin/jlc...c21ccb012c0f6d...

Here is another, though you may have to pay to access the archivehttp://www.jlconline.com/cgi-bin/jlconline.storefront/4c21ccb012c0f6d...



Thanks! This is great stuff! Didn't know about JLC.
