Yes solution 1 is flawed with the redefinition of ELSE. But have
you looked at solution 2 which also uses a count. I posted a
working solution 2 the morning after the post you responded to.
The orig counts are saved in a safe place and don't interfere
with the orig list at all. What is non-portable with solution 2?
Whether you are happy with the slower compilation time is a
different issue.
