This code was posted as-is. It works, I am open to suggestions, but I am
not going to elaborate on why I don't use "existing code" for something
that is really a very minor thing.

It was part of a bigger tool and MY style is to get a working program
first and THEN go into detail about possible user errors or other
problems. I don't really need any what-if's or smart remarks (NIH
syndrome) at this point, especially when they couldn't be further from
the truth.

So next time, maybe put your energy into something more useful, instead
of trying that "holier than thou" attitude.

Look at the other replies to my questions: helpful and to the point.
Even your own - but I decided to take a different route.

Regards,

Lars
