Hi,

The problem with downloading all of the code that appears just to see if it
is useful is that my 1200 baud PC would spend 98% of it's waking hours on
that task alone.

It takes only a few moments for the author of this code to write a short
description of the codes purpose for others to know basically what he or she
can or might use it for.

Suggesting one must download the code just to find out what it does is utterly
ludicrous! Please, if you post software to the net, take the time to comment
to posting enough that one can understand what the codes function is.
