Thanks for that, looks exactly the type of thing I have been trying to build
myself, but my programming skills aren't the best...The forum and ftp upload
were there so I at least had something there. I'll try that and see what
it's like. 

I meant I doubt I would have passed by helping with another project, but
maybe I would have who knows. But I think the marks lie with getting
together a community of like minded thinkers, which I really should have
spent more time doing seeing as I have a week and a half until the
deadline...
