That code is just too difficult for me, unless I gave up doing other things to be able to spend the time on it. It's highly optimised (it has to be), and is thus very long. I don't think it's badly written - it's just got a very difficult job to do. > -- > Dr Richard Stallman -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
