I tried and had good luck with a program called restorer2000 at http://www.restorer2000.com/ . They have a free limited-functionality version as well as a $50.00 version. You can test-drive the free version and, if it seems to work, fork out the $50.00 for the full version. Of course, Your Mileage May Vary. Good luck. - Bill +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Bill Benedetto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
