Hi Kenny,

I suspected that he was asking for someone to do his homework, hence
my terse answer.

Thank you for confirming my gut feeling; he's now plonked.

I've been using Usenet since 1981 and have a knack for reading between
the lines to suss out what's really being asked and/or said, and the
fact his email "address" is that of an anonymous coward cinches it.
