   It is, in fact, related to that other thread.  In fact, I had developed an   
   entirely different solution to that problem (very short, in fact) which had   
   been running fine for a few weeks until it happened to hit the dreaded "08"   
   and crashed.  I fixed that basically by adding code using "regsub" to   
   remove any leading zero before doing the calculations.   
      
   I'll have to take a look at "string trimleft".

   Which of these is the crazier bit of right wing lunacy?   
   1) We've just had another mass shooting; now is not the time to be talking   
   about gun control.   
      
   2) We've just had a massive hurricane; now is not the time to be talking about   
   climate change.
