First, note the 3 line count was an embarrassing typo I noticed when
I got the message back from the list. It's about 30 lines. In
another message to the list, I have posted the code, though. h

The reason I haven't said more about sping is that I am still using
Piddle. I couldn't get Sping to work without a bunch of messing
around and, as I mentioned, the last time I tried the QD backed
didn't exist. Since Piddle works awfully well (after one figures out
how to use it and its sidekick, graphite, a scientific graphing
package).
