Well, I got it down to 129K.  That's not too bad.  The original was
50K.  And this new version is a bit more complex, so it was going to
get at least a little bigger.  As long as it stays down around 100k,
I'm fine with that.  I've got a massive string class that I wrote.
This is the only application I've ever used it in.  Works pretty good,
hehe.
