Please can I make a request: If you want to try this you're welcome, but I ask: * Please no HTML emails - it's easier to extract from plain text * Please remember the anti-spam measure - more than one person has been caught in the spam trap. * Please put BEGIN before and END after you code so I can auto-extract it. I've had 20 submissions in the last few hours, so these will help a lot. Thanks. ======================================================== EDIT: And another 10 in the last 12 minutes. Thank you to those doing as I ask - it's making things easier. I'm going off to do some work now - I'm a little concerned about what I'll come back to ... although it is interesting. As I said earlier, I'll collect submissions until there's a 48 hour gap, then I'll start processing them.

> * Please remember the anti-spam measure - more than one person has been caught in the spam trap. What antispam measure? Neither this page nor http://www.solipsys.co.uk/Writings/TestsForProgrammers_Part_1.html http://www.solipsys.co.uk/Writings/TestsForProgrammers_Part_... says anything about spam (except this note).

  Nor does http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/ColinWright.html?Personal http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/ColinWright.html?Personal - though I'm not sure that Colin Wright even wrote that, given I've yet to find a link to the article from the root, and the article doesn't have the author's name ...
