Hi Meino,

YES YES that seems to be the tool for retrieval all right.:-) Thank you very
much. 

I wont be the "transfer operator" As I wouldn't dare attempt it because even
though it's sold as " foolproof?" I'm the person in the planet who could
prove it wasn't! And end up with all blank disks! :-)
Thanks again.

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
