Subject: 600V supply

I need to generate 600V DC @1mA from a 9V battery to test surge diverter
components (MOVs Transzorbs etc...).

An alternative source could also be 2x 1.5V "C" cells.

It has to be fairly efficient (70%?) and small (portable), so I'm
thinking some sort of HF switching regulator, but I have no idea where
to start.

Google has been less than helpful so far, I may have to go to the
*library* (shock-horror).

Any advice you could provide would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Tom.
