Hi Dan,

Thanks for that - worked like a dream.

One note, though - for "Archival Posterity", so to speak - my access.conf
file had *two* "AllowOverride None" directives in it - if you only edit the
first one, the  second one will override it, and you will be banging your
head against the keyboard for an hour and a half before you realise that
there's a second one :-)

Cheers,
               Dave
