Robert,

I wasn't going to look at the Crafty source in order to not be influenced, but
if it is really commented well enough that I can read it and get the same
information concerning a technique as I could from you here, heck, I might as
well do it (and I promise not to critique, well, maybe just a little ;) ).

I'll let you know how it works out (probably this weekend).

KarinsDad :)
