   Most of those I am familiar with, well at least sec20, birthday and may be the   
   odd welcome and onceonly.   
      
   Going to have a look to see where it is in the pdf file.   
      
   Needless to say it must be coming up to 20 years ago that I might have set    
   them   
   up..   
      
   Waddaya want ?  Me and good memory is these days a wee bit departing :   
      
   Bad enough looking at program code that I wrote a month or two ago and it is   
   now real fun going through code that was started in the 60's, updated in the    
   70   
   & 80's with a system total refresh around 2011 and now I have to go through it   
   to do system testing and update/write the manuals along with debugging any bad   
   code or missing links between sub systems.   
      
   I have put the whole lot of the Accounting package on SF but the changes I    
   made   
   pre 2016 which allows it to not only run using ISAM files but also with   
   Mysql/mariadb has to have some deep testing, although I did do all the basic   
   stuff as well as Functional testing sadly not full system and UAT.   
      
   I decided to take a break as I was on it every day for well over a year.   
      
   I had originally 3 - 4 programmers working on it with me just managing, now   
   it's just me.   
      
   So sue me, it's been a year or few :)   
      
   and I do not really have a very good excuse to myself.
