I have the code for this but there is a very easy answer which works 
over all systems.

Open the pg filter and copy out the functions you want!

You don't need to be using PG to do this but you may have to modify 
some globals. I use pg for all projects of this type so even my 
functions make use of the pg globals etc.

let me know if you need more.
