Sorry that I misunderstood.  I've now read over the whole thread from 
your original proposal (I'd only read the proposal itself).  Until I 
take the time to download and read the .gz file you referred to in a 
later post, and until I better familiarize myself with the current 
state of that code, I'll avoid further comment.
