<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=234585112-07102005>Margaret's original
request was for a solution in Excel. Would a solution in Visual Basic .NET
be of interest? I have written one which hasn't yet been stumped by any
puzzle I've fed into it. I was intending to polish it up a bit (internal
documentation) before sending on to Kevork as an IS
resource.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
