Now I'm getting worried.

This is *NOT* fun, nor exciting, nor even moderately interesting to do.

Porting does encompass any other the things that make me Like to be a
programmer.

DJPGG is making this even more interesting as I am having trouble finguring
out how to get help quickly. (info just doesn't cut it for me yet)

I feel like I'm adding a new feature to some idiots legacy code - argh!
