Good idea.  In that case, stick around and watch the group.. I will post
a more complete version.  The one i posted was more of a sketch.  But if
it would be better as, say, "physics.h", then I will just create that as
a complete library in itself and re-post it later.  Watch for
'physics.h' within the next, um.. 2 weeks or so!  Bye all!
