When I compile it under 23.1.1, it complained about a few obsolete functions, so, I look the liberty of fixing them. In the spirit of giving back, should I upload it under a new filename? Or do I need to contact the author and hope he's still alive? Does anyone care? TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
