Hi All,
I got my data from a copy of Ziv's viewfinder page that I made 8-9 months
ago...I only have the net @ work so I copy the .htm's and the pix that go
w/'em and then view the site @ my leisure at home. I haven't been @ his
site lately and if it's been updated, then shame on me for passing
bad/old data, but what I wrote earlier _is_ what his site did say at one
time...sorry
Bill
