Hi guys,

sorry for the delay (!), thanks for your suggestions. I didn't know
about the PICTIC, it looks good - and cheaper than the other options.
I've not made up my mind yet, and now thanks to you I have 3 choices
instead of 2. Good job guys.

I'll keep you informed if I manage to do something of my liking.

	Xav
