About me
I'm J-P Stacey, and I'm a freelance technical developer and software architect, working with Drupal, Javascript, Symfony, PHP and devops, with experience in project and process management and an emphasis on usability.
I live in the UK; my website is self-hosted on bigv.io; my email is hosted by Google, and that's also what I use to share files. (More info|What is this?)

Thanks, Mike. I did try this originally, in imitation of the core d6_file etc: but it didn't ostensibly work, which is why I went down this route.
It's possible as you say that I was just confounded by the UI not listing it, and so reasonably assumed that meant it wasn't going to run: if I've got time, I'll try again.
