Steve,
I sent  you some comments   about string representation  of  DN (among
others I suggested the  use  of Macros). As  France seems to have hard
times in passing mail across  the Channel, I'm  not sure  you received
them. If you did and found they were  unacceptableand throw them away,
I apologize for this mail. If not, I'll repost to the list...

Sylvain
