wow, excellent result joe! thanks for taking the time to try a patch
w this arrangement, hopefully others will benefit from your test
as i have.
coincidentally, i just ordered a 185 earlier today. to be honest, i
really didn't think it would work w a mult..glad to know know now
that it will.
cheers,
ps minor
