Igor:
Thanks! You saved me some effort. I just had plans to develop exactly this
program. There are some similar in the web, but they are not good enough or
else they are not free, at least the ones I know of. Surely, being
programmed in C or some other compiled language, they should be faster.
Does someone know who programmed it? There is no information about it in the
program itself.
Regards.
