[0;1mmyself now (and [32mthank some gods I can still laugh [37mat these types of
problems!).

[30C[33m------------

[8C[37mI'm also sure that any [32mfirst year programming student [37mis [31mROTFL [37mat
all this. But having solved it is a big win for me, and possibly for all
those sysops that have thought about but not pursued it. Or for those
that, like me, couldn't see past the [36mmental trees blocking the forest[37m!

[8C[32mMy solution may not actually be the most elegant or efficient[37m,
but it [35mruns fast and smooth[37m, is [34mtransparent to users [37m(with no
perceptible lags), and totally handles my original problems and needs.
After you understand it, [36mit's simple and easy to arrange[37m. I hope it's
helpful to you too.

[8C[34mI have so much mental and physical energy [37m(late nights, caffeine
overload, shouting at my wife and kids, and more) that I tried to think
of a [31mway to compile this and sell it[37m. Frankly, I'm sure others could
have figured that out and this would be uploaded to Vertrauen and you'd
be sending in your [33m$10-$20 [37mcheck right now.

[8CHowever, I've gained so much from everybody on [34mDOVE-Net [37mthat I
[31mhaven't got the heartlessness [37mto do that. (My wife says that's my main
life-problem, not enough greed.) Plus, [33mit seems almost fraud[37m. After all,
[35m99.9% [37mof it is just making a slightly obscure modification to Rob's
existing system. Could I sell that? Probably. Intellectual property
includes "[36mknow-how[37m", but, hell, I owe everybody that's answered my
questions, and for those many answers I've lurked too.

[8CIf you have any questions or problems, I'll help as I can. You
can reach me on [33mDOVE-Net Sysop's[37m, or on [36mmy board at (415) 589-5705[37m, or [34mvia
internet e-mail: symbolist@comm-net.com[37m. (AKA tom.hill@comm-net.com)

[8C[32mEnjoy your rooms[37m! They can add a unique capability to your
system, and when you think of another use for this technique let me know
about it!
