Thank you, The information is very helpfull. Sounds like this will be a slightly more challenging project than I had initially thought. I'm going to have to craft something that looks like the pictures and not try to reproduce something. This is exactly the sort of thing I was planning on doing even...

I'd rather not re-invent the wheel for every part of this project if I don't have to. I've decided to get a little more seri...
