(Much of the following information has been lifted straight from discussion groups etc., so some of it may seem quite 'conversational' in nature. However all the information is there.)

I must defer to and acknowledge the help, wisdom and experience of all those people on the Lotus List, much of whose knowledge comprises these technical pages.
