I'm with you Brian - although a "pro" would do a much better job than
myself, there don't seem to be too many around here who can set up Jags/JMs.
In such a case, self-reliance is almost a necessity. Although I consider
myself to be a "do-it-yourselfer" (for most things), the set up on these is
like "ship in a bottle" affair: time consuming, frustrating (solve problem
"A", but then "B" goes out of whack - don't even think about variable "C"),
but, oh so rewarding when it all comes together! With things like this, I
figure I'm better off if I can deal with it . . . but yes, if only Steve
Soest were right down the street!
