I realized that a little later.  For some reason my brain just wasn't in
gear along these lines, as I was trying to get ready for something else.
I, for some reason, thought you had summarized what the techdoc was
about, and never went to read it.  My Bad.  Bruno also forwarded the
correct info to the list earlier as well, but by the time I came back to
the list I had already opened the call.

Howard,

That's the Technote I told you about yesterday afternoon
(http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l AT vm.marist DOT edu/msg86356.html), which
I had found quickly.
