Thanks Carl. I am thinking about whether there is time to get that data into a spread sheet and actually do the whole exercise here with posted tables of data before the thread expires. I think there is, so I will have a shot at that. It will take a few days initially to get it together.
I will just mention now that I will be away from 7th May which is a few days before the end of the thread. So there will be no questions answered by me after 6th May.
