Please :)

If m=12 and k=6 from my understanding
and what you've just told me, the total
redundancy is therefore m/k times.

100% is a bit misleading, and an earlier
example in the same README.txt states
6% redundancy (no idea how that is
calculated either).

What you're saying however, does make sense.
Thanks for the clarification.

Great library/tool too! For me it's a case of ...

"What shall I do with it!" :)

cheers
