Which Charkhari are you working on exactly? If you'd like to post anything problematic here or email a scan to me off-list, I'll be happy to give my considered opinion.

Thanks for those great scans Tony, I have just viewed them (you know who) has downloaded 23Gb of music, so I was "denied service" and was on dial up speed for a while. I fear I have made a mistake with Charkari, I cannot locate that cancel, it may have been Travancore instead. (senior moment) I'll be in touch. Rodney. "Asia-translation" wrote in message ...
