Cool! Much obliged!

You know - it's strange how life goes! I'm an old crock (63 yrs), and
I first got a computer back in 1980. I've been hacking some kind of
code ever since the first day. I've learned Perl4 and Perl5, PHP,
TCL/Tk, and a few others - some fairly well, others, not so much! But
I've _never_ had to apply a "patch"! I must have lived a very
sheltered cyberspace life! ;)

Again, many thanks! I let you know how the patch went!
