Steve: Thanks for the kind words.
I have no problem with the attribution as it is. I appreciate those that have gone before and have shared what they learned in the process. I did a lot of "software archaeology" in my career and have seen good and bad documentation and I guess starting out in 1975 fixing a 150,000 line assembly language energy control center package, I tend to over comment. Always leave it better than you found it... Until the next question..... James p.s. Man U vs. Chelsea today!
