Hi, Barry!

I've been wrestling with this problem myself, pursuing a couple of leads,
but so far have not been successful. The solution would seem to be 
tantalizingly near, however.

I agree with you that having such a capability would be highly desirable.
I (and others) said as much at SwarmFest, but this particular item did
not make it too far up the list of priorities.
Of course, if you and others weigh in, perhaps this wheel would be 
perceived as squeaking enough to get an epsilon's worth  of grease ... :-)

If I myself find a solution, I will of course share it!

Cheers,
Sven
