I sent a copy of the code I have written to Elia and Robson.  Robson mentioned 
that he was extremely busy this month, and that he would be willing to 
discuss it at a later time.  Later today, I can send you a zipped up file (my 
diff-skills are non-existant, so I can't do it that way without poring 
through the manual) of the code we have been using, which is working well for 
the features that our lab uses.  Of course, I would appreciate any feedback 
that you could offer, as well.
