TOKEN works, according to the late Bill Templeton. It was Bill who brought it to us. He authored, cleaned up, and otherwise organized lots of stuff for us in the early days. Bill used to drive me nuts. He'd upload a file, or set of files, then, within hours or days, upload improvements, leaving the old ones online--just in case someone wanted to trace the developments. Then, he would reupload the stuff again, and again, and again, each with minor improvements. Then... he would tell me that he felt that an "earlier" version--by this time I was totally lost in "which version" he was talking about--was the best version and that I should dump the others. Bill was a good friend but he'd drive me nuts, sometimes. I miss Bill Templeton. You couldn't help but get involved when he was around. In fact, you, Robert, used to drive "him" nuts; with your constant questions, questions, questions. You had just started, back then, and everything was a mystery to you. Yeah, you got to Bill, alright, but he respected you for your interest, detail and tiredless efforts. Well, anyway, according to Bill, TOKEN works... -Rick-
