Yes, I absolutely need to do this. The last time I attempted
it, I wasted an entire weekend with my (very expensive)
ISP. It is probably time for me to change ISPs, too. I
could probably get better service for a LOT less money. :-(

Great!
Do you have any plans to make a subversion repository of your code base available? I have
committed your libraries into our code repository here, but it would be much nicer (and,
truth be told, easier :o) if I could just hook our repo into yours via an externals
definition.
See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externals.ht ml
for more details of what I mean. I point to the v1.4 subversion docs since that's what we
have to use here. :o(
Anyway....
cheers,
paulv

I am TOTALLY remiss in mentioning that without Matt Savoie's
unbelievable ability to expose the weaknesses in software
and ego these programs would be a LOT worse than they are now.
He is actually better than a wife, since he is more technically
oriented. :-)
Cheers,
