I also appreciate your consideration. I disagree with nearly none of what you state here; save my ability to manage this port. I quite agree that this is not a simple task, and I have long used, and wanted the opportunity to maintain this port. It is my opinion that users of this port might be better served, if it were converted to Perl; providing the ability to break it up into modules, so as to make the *enormous* collection of routines it is now composed of, *far* more manageable, and coherent. No? Thanks you again, John -- really. --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
