>A major thanks of gratitude to the guys at Linuxdoc in particular Greg Ferguson and David Merrill for help with getting this into trusty SGML. Also to Rob Smith the guy behind me writing this :) (As he couldn't sort his own Linux box out :P). A great vote of thanks to Bill Staehle for his input in ironing out some major flaws. Also a thank you goes to TonyC at btinternet.linux and the rest of that newsgroup for originally getting me on my feet with BTi. Finally and most importantly my thanks goto my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, without whom I'd be lost.</P
