Hi Bob,

HeHeHe... It may look a bit convoluted and as though it is carrying
a lot of dead weight, but in reality it is a minimalist approach.
I like software to work in a clean and elegant manner where possible.

I trust that your restoration to the original was due to the fact
that after attempting the big "clean up" you saw it's clean elegance,
rather than the alternative ? If so, thanks. If not, xxxxxx :)
