Apparently it takes some time for my suggestion to get through to the
mailing list, so I send you a direct answer:
Isn't it easier to use arctime and the specify A and B as lengths
instead of points? For example:
A := 1cm;
B := 1cm;
draw subpath (arctime A of c, arctime (arclength c) - B of c) of c;
The code is not tested.

Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme.
Og spørgsmålet "Kan ænder flyve?" er ikke dumt.
