Thanks for that - it works fine on Safari on my Mac. My only complaint
is that I didn't see this until this morning (Tuesday AM - Australian
time) and I can't really blame you for that, can I. : - )

When we crushed on Sunday, we did our usual back of an old envelope
calculation for sulphite additions and came up with 220 grams for 800
litres of wine - D'oh - it should have been 22 g, just like your
calculator said.

Next year we'll get it right.

Thanks again
