Actually, the code for my Free-Run sample player is quite similar to a
stardard swapper.  I figure Tim or Ian (or Tim and Ian) could implement
it with minimal code changes.  This is likely; as Ian has claimed to have
figured out how it works...  I gave him a couple hints though.. :)


Oh well.  I wonder if I could have patented the technique before I
released shellplay.. :)
