Ok, I'll try to do that on Monday, I did this on my computer at home,
and now that I've done it I can't do email at home, so I sent it from
my office today, but my memory of the exact error messages had faded.
Naturally I didn't have the forethought to write it down last night.
Sorry about that, but, if I don't solve it over the weekend, I'll write
it down and ask again on Monday.
