All booked in and looking forward to being there :-)  Now to get on with the 
homework!

I've been looking around for more up-to-date and useful country borders to 
replace mwdbii and think I've find a good free one at 
http://www.naturalearthdata.com/features/, but that would depend on Shapefile 
support.  Something to think about anyway.

Cheers!
