Merci bocoup Pierre,

I'll try it and let you know the speed.  I have
to guess it's going to be slow though.  But at
least it should run to completion.

Perhaps this will inspire MC coders to optimize!
Take the speed challenge!  Put your MC script up
against a compiled language! A prize for the 
fastest program.

Aloha,
Sadhu
