You're welcome!  With 50+ years of computer software engineering experience
doing these kinds of things, it was easy.

As a staunch advocate for and contributor to the Open Source community,
giving stuff away is what I do  ;-)

The "Safe in Church" deception: believing that calling some building a
"sanctuary" will magically deter criminal violence is a dangerous delusion!

The "Gun-Free Zone" deception: believing that a "No Guns" policy or sign

form!

In your time of need, may your piece be with you!
