Mark,

This looks promising, I am away from home at the moment so I won=E2=80=99t =
be able to test it for a few days. It looks like someone was trying to do w=
hat I did, but over the rs232 port and never finished it. It contains an ex=
ecutable that=E2=80=99s presumably used to save a handler to a computer, bu=
t not transfer it back to another programmer. I=E2=80=99ll look into how th=
ey stored the data and see if I could directly convert it to the format I h=
ave handlers saved to my server with. It looks like they have most of the s=
tandard handlers already archived to files there.

This should be useful, and will save a lot of time if it works how I think =
it does.

Thanks,
Keith
