That is what Corbet described doing & Dale seems to have done, so I'll emerge Hugin & see what it can do. As I now notice, the negatives I want to use right now are not split, but there are many others which are, so this wb useful eventually. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
