THANKS! This is (or will be, once I get it down-loaded and installed) great! Are you considering putting it into a port? If not, I think I'd like to do so (still in my copious free time). Do you see any problem with making it a port? Whether the mWave code could be included in the base system, I can't say, but it's of sufficiently limited interest that it's probably better placed in the ports tree, anyhow. Thanks again! R.
