we've got a variety of responses under way, thanks to a number of 
respondents for the help.  most specifically Cheryl, one of the 
originators has taken pity on me and is helping substantially with 
advice and resources.  i will subsequently be able to assist anyone in 
australia similarly affected i guess.
cheers
