Hi Mark,
thanks for the tip. I did read through that method in quite some detail and thought I'd go with it for a while, but ended up having issues with a few aspects of it and then found Barry's. I think now my issue is not determining the alignment but being able to correct it, irrespective of how I measure it
Thanks,
roger.
