Okay - trying to get back on 'topic' to the original 'subject' heading...

Yes, that has been available for quite some time (though I'm not 
sure for how many years it has been available toll free)...

There is also a wealth of other 'information' on the PCTA website if one
simply 'looks around' by following all the various links...

I'm sure everyone can (or should) appreciate the PCTA's 'responsibility'
to pass along only the "official" status per the respective governing
agency/agencies...  The PCTA's position can't be to advocate "HYOH" in 
these instances...

Please, folks, if you are going to go off on a tangent from the original
'subject', change or alter the 'subject' in your reply post to reflect that.
Thanks!

Happy trails!!!
