Thanks so much for taking the time to give it a look over! Your comments made me realise some ways I can improve my programming in general, (I'm apparently god awful at naming things especially) and I've started to implement your suggestions, but haven't gone about the two most major ones yet, undoing the hard-coding and rewriting my extract-5 into layer-position, I'll try to do that over the next few days. Other than starting this and adding some testing I've been mostly confined to reading and hanging out with my family over the holiday so not much change on the programming front. I'll post my source again once I finish optimising the delete/insert functions and implement the two improvements.
Are you a different anon? been up to anything neat this holiday season?

I saw your latest spiral on /lambda/ I really like the look of this one. I think it's my favourite aesthetically.
I've been reading the Unix Hater's Handbook for fun, (I've enjoyed it thus far) and a couple of papers on parsers in preparation for my next project (a fast parser combinator library).
