John,
    I would have a very low reputation of myself if I would feel
insulted for such a simple mistake :-)
What you ask for is technically doable, I just have to reread my code
(it has been a while) to
formulate a rough estimate of the effort involved, but it shouldn't be
too much.

I am willing to do it, provided there is some interest in a slowed down
version of Jason.
I had received requests for a faster one, maybe the two things can be
combined, giving the
user the choice between at least three speeds.  What you all think ?
