Karl,

Either you is another Zeev Hed World Class Scientist,
or you had a dream that was intended for a Zeev type
with that big lightbulb popping On Bright, and upon aWaking
you hurried wrote down the break-through idea.

As Chuca would say, Location Location Location
and knowing what he himself meant,
Chuca also said, New Tech New Tech New Tech
and wellllllllllllll,
and then it was Colors, then Nanos, and then Kitchen Sink(s)
but
my point, is your "snake oil" 4Real
or are you doing a semi-Chuca
of which you may not know if you don't know Chuca,
but a semi 4Attention type wording(s) :o)
ok,
but do we have to call/invite Zeev over here
to hear about this
as i'm sure almost every day another LightBulb clicks On
but
usually only those with the bulb inside their heads
see it :o)
ok, please tell this thread more
and yes,
lets OT all this since this thread has "not nice" threaders here
and they have objected to off stuff
so, just a few is now ok
and no if(s) & butt(s)
this sounds interesting
but not the reason why official government responce is nill
as thats understood to be hitting head against wall
as in, it hurts,
oops, "and no if(s) & butt(s)"
now i remember, Chuca also did a "its butts butts butts"
with, never did undestand that one
ok, and now my dougak "invention"
and no, it is smaller than the smallest v. yours(if really 4Real)

Long ago i did a buy of Microsofts SDK for Windows 3.1
and needed a better search for strings in text files program,
so i made one in C.
If your latest and greatest Microsoft os supports a DOS 5
executable file, then i could e-mail it to you if you found it
to be useful. I never did plug it into a Windows program,
but will someday, but i'm sure those 16 bit i made will not
run on the 32 platform, but the search program itself might
run under whatever Windows NT or 95,97,2001etc allow you
to interact with what looks like a DOS prompt. Ya, i'm still
Windows 3.1 on my 33 megahertz processor. Also, in case
you run a Unix i setup the building so that switches in the
building will instruct my source code to choose different names
for libraries (and yikes its been a long time since i did this
and forget if Unix uses Includes files like like golly its like
i'm gonna need to look at the stuff i did to remember what i knew),
so that i have only one version of source code for MS or Unix.
Guess i'm getting ahead of myself here. Anyway the "what is this."
