Daniel,

Yes, the reverse transform is the hard part!  Please let me know when  
you have completed the first part, and then maybe you'll have worked  
up the courage to tackle the second part ;-)

BTW, the reverse will probably not be too bad since I've done the  
hard work for you...

Cheers,
Steve Ball
