Good question.  I guess I was hoping to see things sorted by overhead, but
as you said removing all the -F options gives me that.  I have been
distracted with other fires this week, I lost focus at what I was trying
to accomplish.

Let me figure that out again and try to come up with a more clear email
explaining what I was looking for (for myself at least :-) ).

Sorry for the distraction.

Cheers,
Don
