Okay, that would be appreciated.  I'm not familiar with Windows
software.

Right - what we were originally planning was a database-based system.
This is becoming more and more important now - within 10 minutes of me
putting the new pages up, whilst I was still testing, a guy E-mailed
me with a report, and I've had another 2-3 since.  The demand is
certainly there, and I'm having to focus just on the UK to keep the
whole thing manageable.

I think we need some discussion on the database-driven site idea again
now.  We could merge the operation of our site and Chuck's (if he's up
for that), and accept reports automatically from all over the world.
I'm going to have a think about this.
