I see you *did* post it, but then followed up with personal mail 
complaining about your lack of success and quoting another unsuccessful 
attempt to get your program working. naturally I received that before 
reading c.l.py and seeing the post I missed.

I'm not a fucking computer, you know.  There, you *have* goaded me into 
profanity. So now I'm going to follow the only sensible suggestion 
you've made and get some sleep. Feel better now?

regards
  Steve
