Yes, of course. I have been really buried at work, as should be obvious by my intermittent participation on these lists. The code requires updating, since it was done against -current as of November 2002, when I made the original posts, and there has been a linker and two compiler upgrades in the meantime that impact it. It's going to take me a while to make the necessary updates; I'll forego the code cleanups that need to be done in order to just get the code out as soon as possible. Nevertheless, don't expect to see it until about mid-January. Rest assured that I haven't forgotten anyones requests in this regard. -- Terry
