Merged in +tot and removed unneeded version (we have to learn to through away code. I know it is hard, so I did it for you).

Edit rolled back; I have no attachment to code that took zero effort to write. I left both versions there deliberately to show the similarities between the two versions, which can help people learning awk to recognise standard patterns and solutions.
