Perfect starting point and, hopefully, not too dissimilar. I'll post back some experience. Zac, thanks for the link.

I'm up for just trying anyway, using that Dapper script as a guide. I thought I might cross-check what it does (if I can deduce that) with the guidance in the Wine notes page. You just learn more, having a go, even when it ends in tears. And when it does, I'll have a second shot, with your scripts. Actually, I'd like to run them anyway if you do them, and let you know how straightforward it seemed. I've two machines I can try it on, so I'll leave one untouched for now. Thanks again for the suggestions. And what a useful thread, all down to Stephen for asking in the first place. regards, Island
