Hear hear!  I wrote the utility because (a) it was needed, (b) I had the  
necessary skills and (c) it was an interesting programming exercise.  Just  
because my main allegiance is to BBC BASIC that doesn't mean I am  
*against* Liberty Basic; if the utility attracts a few more people to LB  
good luck to them.

Some Liberty Basic folks just don't seem to be able to grasp this.  My  
'reward' for writing the utility has been to be ejected from the Liberty  
Basic Programming Wiki, banned from the Liberty Basic Community Forum and  
having all my articles/posts - including those about the utility - deleted!

Perhaps it's a uniquely British thing _not_ to be aggressively competitive.

Richard.
