 I did think of posting it but..

1. The author (Simon Spero, sispero@cix.uucp) has now graduated and may (?)
have net access so it would be good manners if nothing else to ask him first.

2. As it stands it is just a bolt-on and could really do with tidying up so
that it can actually replace the old one, I intend to do this when I get
time...

3. I haven't been using it long and don't know what (if any) bugs it has.

To be honest I'm surprised Simon didn't post it himself, maybe he's shy :-)
