True, but the last 10% of the work takes 90% of the time. 8-) Seriously, though, I would suggest you sound out the mood and establish some sort of support *before* starting - it would be a terrible waste of effort if you were to do all that work and then not have it integrated. I am *not* trying in any way to discourage you or say that there is anything wrong with what you want to do, just trying to point out some of the practicalities. Anyway, this kind of discussion really belongs in -hackers, where most of the people you need to convince are to be found, so I've taken the liberty of re-directing it there. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
