   I have just completed a version in VB Script (Visual Basic Script),
which -- of course -- does not run that fast: 14.67188 Seconds on a
2.8 GHz AMD Athlon CPU with 768 MByte Memory under Windows NT 5.0, er,
Windows 2000 Server.

   The script uses mostly standard VBS objects classes: Command Line
Arguments, File System Objects, Dictionary (sort of an associative
array), and the Regular Expression object. The dictionary is
unfortunately not sorted, which accounts probably for most of the
running time. The dictionary has to be exported into an array to read
it sequentially, and the array has been sorted by a Quicksort which I
ported to VBS. This Quicksort added only a few fractions of a second
to the running time.
