I tried uploading an attachment with the source code (about 120k) but the mailing list thought it was too big and rejected it. I'm not willing to host code snippets like this on my web site, so was wondering if someone else is willing to do it? I'll try uploading the message again with a link instead of an attachment if someone else hosts the link. Thanks > I would.
