   Yes, I recall back when I was writing more code on my own that I'd   
   often start with a program written by someone else - not stolen,   
   where you buy a book with the program in it and instructions on   
   how to use it - and I often found myself rewriting their work to   
   get it to work better, faster or in a customized way.

   You'd hope that's how it works but when they talked about that   
   happening they didn't mention anything about that. It seemed to   
   be a huge surprise to them so I figured it came up with that on   
   its own. They gave it a job to do, but it didn't have time to   
   finish it, so it changed what was keeping it from doing so..

   Like you but better? Be careful that PETEY doesn't replace you...    B)
