I think this version may be suitable.  Initially, column 1 will get the 
first field type selected, and then each sequential column. 
Alternatively, select a cell to use and then its field type.  It size is 
10K, as against 20K for the existing version.  Any thoughts?

At the moment, its a free-standing 160K compressed executable, if anyone 
wishes to play.

If OK, I'll integrate it and put it to reviewboard
