I would be interested in doing something like this. (Especially being mentored) I have only been using Unix (FreeBSD) since May, and while I am picking up a lot, I still have a good portion of the learning curve to ride out. Also, I think that if we brought this request into a little more light (read: beyond -chat) we may find people that are willing to do some mentoring. I may be able to do a little in the lines of Tcl/Tk, but I don't know if I could answer any questions beyond some of the basics. ---------------------------------- Daniel Gast: Weasniak@geocities.com
