I agree, but I'm only going by the guidelines that MG has requested people follow to ensure that bad code is not uploaded to where others could apply it without considering that it may be faulty. Or would shove it into a live forum and then scream that it's crashed something.
The MOD has been sent to Artie for vetting - but I suppose one could put the code here so that other experienced ip-coders could also check it for anomalies.
Here it is. And other people please note that this is ONLY the code and not the complete MOD.
