Hi Vincent,

You do? How did that happen? And when? And were there any conditions attached
to it?

I see it's on Source Forge already, put there by you! Good, kudos!

 VC> I can make one or both available via my website if anyone wishes

Yes please do! ;-)

This is what Ken Johnson has already been doing. I don't know how far he is
with that, but it would be good if he published his work too, so no double
efforts will be done...

Did you get "far" with this? Is your work in a version control system (like
git)?


Bye, Wilfred.
