Hmmm, somehow I fell under the illusion that a license was required to work with the source for the kit. As I see it, once I've got the source, all I need to do is tinker with it until it works with an ELF lesstiff. > If you want to help, great, but don't make it worse than it is.

Nope, I'll do that as well, but I'm pretty sure I want to get it ELF'd regardless. Thanks for your quick response, Sheldon.
