i hope that is easy but accurate to be used at school

Thanks for making and sharing this!

Any chance that it could be saved as a github (or other code host) repo, so that people can browse it online before downloading and unzipping?

Also, thanks for the useful link in the code to:

i understand that very well,  
but i stay within my own current structure;  
but i should have linked only to the website ( and not the download name.zip ) here at the forum.  
[http://kll.engineering-news.org/kllfusion01/articles.php?article\_id=154#here29](http://kll.engineering-news.org/kllfusion01/articles.php?article_id=154#here29)

but again from there see  
-a- code snippets ( and one flie PDE ) as name.txt  
-b- where more files needed as name.zip  
-c- for real projects i go the way via my own download page again as name.zip

– change to git with a many year old BLOG  
with text-logs, pictures, codes in various form is just too late,  
even i see the advantages / mainly it would even survive my web site when i am dead /
