  That's not quite fair.  Someone *did* encapsulate this functionality
so it is reusable, and a simple post to this newsgroup led to at least
one, and possibly two, sources of the component you need.  But now you
are asking for those software components to also not cost anything.
There are many things in this world that you can buy, rather than
make.  There are quite a bit fewer that somebody will make for you,
and donate to you for free.
