thanks Dick.
I was hoping you could get the link all on one line so all one has to do
is click on it.

do you know how to use Tiny URL ...?
it's neat .
works great.
then people can click on a simple small link and see what you want them
to see.

This time ..by clicking on the first part of the link,
then pasting the other part onto the end of that, I can see your picture.

Very interesting.  One wonders how much affect such vortex generators have.

if they reduce drag even 1 % in still air I would be impressed.
looks like they trap dirt and mud and would need to be cleaned out now
and then.
