I'd *really* appreciate sight of these two papers. I would buy the dratted things if I *knew* they'd be useful but, without having seen them, I've no way of knowing! And I'd really resent throwing away ~£40 that I can ill afford. Gah!!! I've tried all the libraries I can get to for paper copies and appealed on theotherphorum, all to no avail.

Maybe some kind person on here will be the saving of my sanity? You'll need access to Wiley:

Just emailed you both of them now - will you confirm you received them as your email address rejected three times before email seemed to send

Edit: it's just been returned back to me - failed to deliver - can you confirm your email address, maybe it's me??

Ady you are an absolute star!!! They arrived fine. Thank you *so* much! Now to see if I can make anything of them...

Edit: Thanks again Ady, you saved me from wasting precious pennies - the protocols add near zilch to what's already stated in the (fairly comprehensive) manuals or in the forums!
