Hi John,
C is not not my native language .

It has been a while ago I really programmed in C. Yes, I followed a C course back in 1988 and used it quite a while. But now I can only 'read' it to translate C API's for VBA and Xbasic. Besides this I have very little time at the moment, I'm working on an Office project written in VBA. However, the project could use a kind of scripting language not being VBA (macro).
