Hi there,
I'm actually writing not about a bug, but about a possible improvement.
I found the code to be [very] slow on bigger files; while looking into it,
I found a better way to deal with the matter, and since the new code is
about 50 times faster than the old one (at least for the files I've
tested with) and giving approx. similar results, I thought it would be
worth to include yet another sub to make the faster method available as
well.
I've tried various ways to contact Tim Ayers, but with no success.
I'm unsure how to proceed.
Thanks,
Iosif Fettich

No problem with that - but thanks for answering!

Do you maybe have an email of him that would work? I've tried the 3 that I
could gather on the Net, but all the references seem to be over 10 years old,
so I am not at all sure that any of them is actually in use.

Thank you for the hints. I'll check to see what the proper next step should be.
Many thanks,
