   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!

   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.
