well, seeing as this was most likly how Earls program WAS written, and
being a bit more professional than that (I do do this for a living) I
wuill not do what you have so nicely asked.

But, if you would like for me to do it correctly, when you provide the
specs (I'm sure you can do this to the satafaction of the industry) and
once these have passed review, I'd be glad to DCUT (code) it for you, do
initial FVT, SVT, beta and any needed revissions till it passes system
test....

and heck, I'd give you a break, I'll only charge half of what I normally
charge as my hourly rate....

so....any idea when you'll have the spec finished ?
