Excellent. I'll go hunting for that.

Odd how the requirements ended up including that. Fickleness abounds.
If only we knew up-front what the end would be.

I was tempted to restart from scratch given Ingo's comments, but I
reconsidered and I'll be working with your code (and the German

properly attribute if I did otherwise.
