Good idea. I'm going to assume for the moment that that utility whose link
was
posted here would actually solve this problem. Even so, a hundred bucks

pretty steep for such a thing. Anyone who needed it badly enough would
probably
grimace and fork over the $$, but it would be nice to have an alternative.
