Klaus -

Looks to be pretty neat.  Seems a bit out of date, but I think the
concept remains the same.

However, I'm still looking for some documentation that clearly explains
how the procedure is done - what to do after a comps.xml file is edited,
how to create the hdlist files, etc etc.  I guess I'll keep searching
here.  ANy feeback by others would also be greatly appreciated.

Again, thanks for the time!
