Caveat emptor

This collection of subflows is not well documented. I made this flow years ago as a test, it worked fine, and then I didn't need to use that specific component anymore so I never went back and documented it well.

I have uploaded it here so it doesn't disappear entirely, and somebody else could use it. It works as advertised.
