My bad Charles. I first saw the wrappers explained by someone at Cygnus,
and assumed they had developed them in-house. I've never actually used
them (we use a slightly different solution to escape auto Hell, though
yours is more elegant) so I was going off memory from the descriptions
given by the Cygnus person.
Thanks for clearing up my misinformation. :-|
