/me nods understandingly ... I have often sent terse mails in a caffeine
induced insomnia...
Also this should teach me not to reply mails on exam day mornings (when I
sleep at 3:00 AM, wake up at 7 , check mail at 7:30 and rush to college
before 8 ;-)

You're right ... I did fail to appreciate the fact that you DID IT ..
And that's what's important here.

Actually using that does simplify our work and well , it does have a lot of
stuff to support various platforms in things like wild card expansion etc..
Of course it's a lot simpler than using your code to parse options ...

Learn the stuff... :-) .. I think you might find it interesting , very
interesting indeed ..
I learned most of what I know now reading Rhys's code and imitating..
Not quite unlike monkey see monkey do , but like an infinite number of
monkeys with a single keyboard and lots of virtual terms ;-)
Generally when you read Rhys's code first, you get the idea that
this is too huge to understand , but in time you figure out the few
design principles he uses and end up with the following quote:-
"Rhys does not play dice with the code" ...

Striking a jarring note at the end , I do prefer my html well peppered
with "</font>" closing tags ... But I think you might have fixed that
already ?.
