So the table is generated manually each time?? Many little nasty
jobs like this can be handled by writing a script or test and exe-
cuting it whenever needed, sometimes scheduled as a cron job.

Let me put it differently: the more difficult it is for others to
reproduce one's own claims, the less will others be willing to be-
lieve them. (This is not about portability but automating.)

I can't help, but cite a signature used by Michael Hudson :-)

   In case you're not a computer person, I should probably point out
   that "Real Soon Now" is a technical term meaning "sometime before
   the heat-death of the universe, maybe".

bits and pieces.  We can try to do it on a test server

somewhere but to be honest not this week, it would take

a full day to set up.  If I had a day, I'd rather
