Well, I was sort of hoping to be able to do this without having to fall back
to windows, besides that gets beurocracy involved and slows things WAY
down, the boss wanted it done ASAP and I am trying to do it with Linux
and at the same time avoid getting the office people involved too many
chiefs and in the end nothing gets done or it gets done slow. Guess I will
have to find out who has the tool and go that route, sure was trying to avoid
it, but guess it is not going to be.
