Thank you for following up your own question with the information you  
found.  It could prove very useful for someone else, should they have the  
same question in the future.  Posting the links here is very helpful.

One small suggestion: if there's some concise way to summarize what's  
contained in those links, you might consider posting that information as  
well.  The newsgroup is archived in what is likely to be a much more  
robust way than the lifetime of those links, and so having at least a hint  
here as to what the solution was could be even more valuable in the  
future, if those links go out of date.

Thanks!
Pete
