Daniel,

That’s it and it’s much better and powerful than i expected! Amazingly  
powerful and simple! Thank you and thanks to the win32 team, too.

(i’m sorry i was too lazy to lookup the other files. I only read the  
readme and tutorial.txt and then stopped. i did not read evenlog.txt and  
the other .rb samples wc were very complete)

thank you and kind regards -botp
