Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, attachments get deleted on the net list (pity they don't eliminate HTML, at the same time!). You can either post them on a web site and give the URL so that everyone
can see them or send them in individual e-mails to those requesting them, such as myself now. From your description, I have an idea, but I prefer to see the photos before pronouncing.
Best regards
Brian
PS Did you get the e-mail I sent you a coupla weeks ago?
