I came with a faintly answer to this a few days ago.. So I will sit down
with Stock Circle3.0 bpl 11 [Have to anyway, if I want my own MUD running
one day :) ] and find what need to be changed for my solution to work.
When I get it done and tested, I will mail it to the list, and maybe Alex
will pick it up for the Snippet page.
Its not the only answer, but it should work.
