I saw a post from Phil about his intention to implement the new methods in 
Qt4.2 at some point in the future. So hopefully this will end up in a windows 
binary and I will be able to use span. 

In the mean time I have improvised with my GUI QtableWidget layout - its OK 
for now and I will keep an eye out for Qt4.2

Thanks for all your help - it is appreciated. I am getting more fluent with 
Qt4 and the conversion is getting easier ...

Thanks once again

Dave
