I have no problem with doing that work. Would anybody have an object? Are there things about how work like this should be done that I should know about before undertaking it? CVS branches to use, how to import the 4.4lite2 stuff, etc? I know that Jordan has asked many times for someone to do this for the whole tree. I don't know if I can commit to the whole tree. However, I can commit to parts of the tree that are logical units, and would be happy to do them one after the other. I have limited time for this project, so would rather commit small peices as I go, rather than trying to do the entire tree all at once. It would be less disruptive as well to have things go in a little at a time. Anyway, that's just my two cents... Warner
