Under consultation with two forum contributors, this grew somewhat to include details of ‘Standard’ thread series enabling not only selection but ‘comparison’.Working in isolation can lead to unforseen consequences due to a potential narrow outlook and I’m certainly not immune from thinking that my way is the only way. Whilst I do have technical knowledge of threads/threading gained during my past career and now as a hobbyist, it would be useful to have the opinion of people who are still very much ‘hands-on’ as to how useful this program might be - or indeed whether it would benefit from further expansion.If you would like to review the program - written for ‘Windows’ but currently also being evaluated under ‘Wine’ on Linux - send me a PM with your full name & e-mail address and I’ll make a personal copy available for you to download.</blockquote>
