Oh Mr Stijn. Listen, I am not tellimg you off, or making fun of you..Ok ?
I promise. But my eyes crossed, went sidewyas, took a holiday, crawled
across the floor looking for somewhere else to be.
Years and years ago I wrote a caculator program for DOS, using a
recursive state-machine model and allowing infinite precision, kind of
like "bc"..or is it "dc" ?
Quite necessary at the time to deal with the Dutch Tax System.

Portupgrade has too many ways it can go wrong for mere mortals.
I have offered to re-write it.
It will be a mega-project, but my offer is serious.

And ruby (don't take our love to town) will place a less than significant
role.
