My syntax was imperfect.  I didn¹t mean that I wanted an explanation
offered by someone other than an electrical/computer engineer; I meant I
needed a solution that could be ³done by² someone who wasn¹t an engineer -
namely, me.  No offense intended.

Your explanation was indeed clear and helpful. Thanks for sending it.

Ted
