Yes, the compiler doesn't differentiate between templates and non-template
overloads of the same name, what's more if the primary template is inline,
then all it's overloads have to be as well, otherwise they pretty much just
get ignored! I've just tested a fix (it works!), so thankfully I think this
one is settled now, many thanks for your help,
John.
