My application is for use by small charities who often have old
computers and little technical expertise. I have thousands of users.
So, I can't insist on any particular hardware configuration. I also
can't insist on other shareware such as WinZip being present.

However, this does give me some good ideas that I think are worth
following up.

Thanks - Dan.
