Dear Eu-eryone
I ran the attached program and got the results below. My replace plods along
whereas as Brian's and Irv's are way faster. Oh well, back to the
drawing board.

Oh man, am I dumb or what. My routine does a replace all and the others do a
single replace. D'oh!!!
Will put in Brian's recursive routine and drop Irv's one (unless you want to
supply a replace-all, Irv) and see who's works best.
