Thanks! Certainly, I'll be putting it on my website sometime (and maybe I'll
post it in these groups.)  I'm working on a few more things, mainly adding the

probabilities of appearing on the endpoint of a segment.

I'm also trying to make it so you don't need a PhD to run this thing...the
arrays that are needed to define before running it may seem daunting.
