Hello Peter.

It was Garnome. Thanks for jogging my memory.

I didn't remember it as being development/beta. I thought it was a final 
release alternative.

Any way, I will look at the URL you have given me and find some more about it. 
As it is only beta, I probably shall not download and install it.

Many thanks

Keith
