thanks for your help - a much simpler way of doing it...   I've done this and 
it works fine with all the tests.  I just have a question on Base64 (a bit 
green here) - is there an accepted library that is the defacto norm for 
decoding/encoding?  I've found on from 
http://www.ruralnet.net/~kelley/java/Base64.java which seems ok, but I was 
wondering if there was a commonly used encoder out there.

cheers, and thanks again (I spent all of yesterday trying to fix this when 
there was a simple workaround!)
