Thanks much Gene. I poked around on their website and missed that.
So there are two mods - basic and advanced.
Thanks for the lead, I didn't know about this company before. I see
alot of products there - would it be safe to say, given their
speciality, that if they carry it it's at least fairly well
recommended? I see some pres there, and other items that interest me.
It woould be nice to treat it as a "trusted selection."
