Lukas,

I just noticed your reply. The original never made it to my server.
Anyway, thanks for posting the code. I'll definitely look into it.
Keep up the good work!

And Robert, I appreciate your comments on C# and Ruby. I wonder why
there hasn't been more enthusiasm there. I can't speak for Ruby,
but I love C# (never quite got Java--kept hitting snags).

I think that a few C# samples could get quite a few programmers on
board and enthusiastic, if that's the desired result. Even experienced
programmers can benefit if they have a page of code to compile and
run in their familiar environment. Something to start things rolling.
