One thing though, the disclaimer should not said the author cannot be
held responsive, or you would be Windows that is not responsive all
the times. I think it should say "responsible".

I'm quite confused though, the code could be made simpler by dozens
using Python's high-level functionalities. Particularly the lengthy
code that checked whether the string contained a substring and replace
the substring with new could be done easily (and faster) using
python's in and replace function. I'll post the code later when I
finished checking places where the codes could be simplified, and I'll
also polish the entry code and a few other things (and pythonify the
code according to the PEP 8's guide lines).
