sql problem (hope it's not too easy!)

Because if it is, I'll feel foolish.

I've been struggling with this one for a bit, and if there's an answer, it's escaped me.

Given the following (very simplified) tables:

T1:

FEECODE		varchar2(10)
FEEDESC		varchar2(50)

constraint T1_PK primary key (FEECODE)

T2:

CUSTNO		number(9)
FEECD		varchar2(10) (references T1.FEECODE)
YESNO		number(1)

constraint T2_PK primary key (CUSTNO,FEECD)

For any CUSTNO, FEECD is a value which is *always* found in T1 (FEECODE). However, for any CUSTNO, all FEECODE's don't necessarily exist in T2. I'd like to be able to get an sql output, for any given CUSTNO, showing CUSTNO, FEECODE/FEECD (all possible) ,DESC,YESNO where YESNO is either null or some default if there isn't an occurrence of CUSTNO+FEECODE in T2.

So far, everything I've tried results in a list with just the T2 items that actually exist. I'd like to avoid some monstrous PL/SQL concoction. Is this possible? (I'm sure it is, and it'll be embarrassingly easy).
