Thanks for the info.
I guess I'll have to concentrate more on hands-on experimenting
rather than unfounded thought experiments!

To all, I've been on this list for nearly a year, mainly in "lurk"
mode, and I must say that an enjoyable part of the day is reading
mail from tesla-at-pupman, the spirit of cooperation here is fantastic.
Well done to all (and of course special thanks to Chip for the forum)
Bye ... Sulaiman
