Hi :)
That sounds like a nightmare!  You made it look like a series of stepping 
stones rather than the single hop we were hoping for.  

However, when i look again you are really talking about just 1 format in the 
middle?  Then the extra editing is just an optional finesse that Virgil could 
probably dodge for the test-run?  

The command-line bit also sounds a bit scary but if you could give a command 
that Virgil could try out by using copy&paste then that might be "do-able"
Regards from 
Tom :)
