It would be rather cool if the text in this case could be laid out in one continuous spiral line, one could put a lot of info on a lightscribe disk that way.

Frankly, I'm not much of an artist with drawing tools & need all the help I can get, but I suspect everybody knows that just from the question. :) Thanks. >Craig -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
