Oh I believe you 100%. But unless you expect me to post all the other 160+
routines from this core library to the list (don't worry, won't happen) for
you to reverse engineer I was kinda hoping for a more automated solution.

Thanks for the translation thou. It was kinda interesting getting the magic
behind the smoke and mirrors explained. Wish now I had chosen a more complex
example. He he.

While surfing I did run across a windoze app called LuaDC.exe. I tried
running it on W98 and it launched a command-line window (which closed before
I could read anything) so I then tried it with DOS where it told me it
required windows. Anyone know of a Linux type app that will do this?
