O-oh, how embarassing! Advertising the whole 40 Kb more than actually
offering! Must be all the spaces in line indents were replaced with tabs
(factor of 8 or 6 decrease?)

I am afraid this is the sort of appreciation David gets *most* of the

Anyway, I think the Coyote is hard at work fixing things up.
BTW, David, I can upload 40 Kb of my worthless code to your site so that
your promised archive sizes are more realistic! Let me know :-)
Cheers,
