------A total SNIP of everything and on to a better idea.-------


Consider using avalanche rectifiers and it makes all the stuff about the
caps and resistors a mute point. There are some good application notes
out there on this subject and the whys and wherefores of it all.

For your needs the BYM36E might be a good choice. At around 30 cents a
piece hard to beat.

Best of luck in your project!
