Hi,
this is a call for Robert Eachus, can you contact me please. I had an
email discussion with someone from comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
regards doing this, a colleague was aware of this and passed me the

I think you would be interested in the discussion I had, I looked through
all the CLA messages available to me but couldn't see any from you. Can

but I think it needs a bit of investigation first.
thanks,
