Hi, Dieter.

I'd rather write PostScript than C! :-) Stack-based languages take a bit
of getting used to, but 0 0 MoveTo XMax YMax Lineto for a diagonal line
in a table cell ain't that hard.

DM> FM> Thanks for the offer, Dieter. Let me see what I can figure out first.

DM> What eventuated ??

Last weekend got totally out of control with social commitments, and
this week with Rosie's 16th birthday. Maybe this weekend... but then
I'm quite sure she's going to want me to spend it giving her driving
lessons. :-( I think I've just lost a car. Or a life.

Regards, FIM.
