More, if I remember correctly (thousands, only about 3000 common characters
though).

It wasn't my intention, by any stretch of the imagination, to be
ethno-centric (neutrally or negatively).  My apologies, whether I have given
offense or not.  Traditionally, I've heard the "It's Greek to me...";
however, these days, just about any non-English language is used (though
some less often than others).  From this point onward, I shall put a little
more thought into what I'm thinking and typing!

Here I was thinking that "long in the tooth" had been misunderstood.  Funny
how the international nature of the Internet points out glaring oddities in
one's behaviour/thoughts.  (For what it matters... I try to avoid smart-ass
American comments...  I use smart-ass Canadian comments 8-).

Anyhow, on a different note.  Many thanks for the wealth of resource
material that everybody took the time to point out.  It'll no doubt take
some time to digest (so I'd best get to it! 8-).

P.S.
A further note. I'm current with Dev-C++ 4.0 (I like the extended Tools
menu... You CAN run your favourite MIDI file from it! 8-)  Is there a
"plug-in" style API for Tools? (I admit, I'm remiss in downloading the
source for the IDE, and my Delphi is... nearly non-existent, so it might not
be my choice for developing something like that.)
