Any FERM Users

[Luke Davis]

Okay, thanks (to all who responded so far).  I do need to go complex for
this, so FERM or Tom's suggestion, look like potential good ways to go.
Yes, it does look a bit daunting in its interface--they claim a
C-structureed language, but it's just different enough to be
counter-intuitive to me, if looked at from a C/PHP/etc. prospective.
As you say, even that, is better than doing it by hand, as I have done to
date.
