90 mins + copious slurps of xmas cheer + rusty(C),,,, and I found it. 
effing macros, this bird is worth two in the ...

I think I somewhat agree with James.  I could have rewritten that code 
in less time than it took to fund the flaw.  But that concept only works 
when (a) I know there is a flaw ... which the comp kinda reveals and (b) 
i can rewrite myself or somehow magik the blubbercoder to do a better job.

I also agree with Jerry.  If I could find the Jameses of the world and 
employ them for cheap, I'd be happy as Santa.

So, assuming I sober up by the morn, and SO doesn't notice, where's 
Ping's code?



iang (hic!) merry xmas all, and may your cheer not infect your macros
