Darn, you can join the parties whenever!

Dr. Dowd replied off-line, as did you when you had trouble with posting to the list.  He too recommended taking a look at freemed.org, but basically his answer was "none yet" in regards to open-source or proprietary software.

Great information, sir.  And thank you very much for your time and your efforts.

Cheers,
Robert~
