My one-shot programs tend to be along the lines of take all the jpeg files in this directory or subdirectories, and rename them with the string "Fred" followed by the date and time extracted from the EXIF information inside the file. Takes about 5 lines of Tcl. Perhaps something like draw a graph of sin(x)*cos(y)+sin(cos(x)) and rotate it to show the structure of that function. Probably a one-liner in mathematica. :-) -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST). Cryptokeys on demand. The 90/10 rule of toothpaste: the last 10% of the tube lasts as long as the first 90%.
