Thanks for the info, Mark.  I guess my post gave the impression that I
hadn't really done my homework.  I will certainly check out the references
you mentioned (which for some reason weren't common knowledge in our neck
of the woods), but what I'd really like to do is talk to people who have
experience doing this, about stuff that might not necessarily be in the
literature.

I've got several literature searches in progress, and I was planning to
check this source as well.  I kind of just threw this query in as a
"...while I'm at it..." in the hopes that offhand someone could help me cut
to the chase.

Thanks again for the help.  Sorry I made ya say "sheesh".  I really wasn't
just being lazy.  I'm not really a lazy person (ask anyone!) :-)

(sorry for taking up more bandwidth explaining myself)
