Hi Ric,

        I WAS in the middle of saying sorry no, but then I checked.  If
you set the interval to 0 all you get then is the unpacking time,
roughly 0.5 of a second.  See I learned something then!  Thanks Ric :)

        BTW.....  What is your source for the satellite pix?  I am quite
interested in astronomy and space exploration etc and would be grateful
for any info you could provide.
