Consider this as a general call: "mail > all code in plain text to this list rather than sending URL's". I wasn't quite sure if I should include the code in my original message or not and couldn't find anything about how to go about making new announcements. Most people seem to be sending in patches or single files from what I've seen (though I haven't been paying close attention). I made the URL choice for a few reasons. One of the main ones being I really don't think many people will be interested in this. I just didn't feel like sending all the people on this list code they most likely wouldn't be interested in. If you like I could mail the tar.gz out to the list now. Just let me know. Thanks for the feedback. -- Corey Giovanella www.challenge-engineering.com/~corey/
