That offer was made on 4/12, and it's 4/25 today, so you're six days
late. Since I don't want to be thought of as a welsher, however, the
offer still stands despite the delay. I await five emails from regular
c.l.py posters confirming that they think your version is better than
the one in the documentation.
Having read it I'm not sure *why* you believe your version is better,
but I am nevertheless impressed that you did get around to it.

Steve
