   Thanks Gerald. As always, can count on you to   
   flesh out the threads. I could have done a search   
   but didn't and now I'm curious if there is info   
   on the Web about the product "Hadacol" and whatever   
   happened to it. I can only assume at this point,   
   that if I've spelled it correctly, the "acol" in   
   the name speaks volumes.
