Take the source code from Lenny, create an account somewhere like SourceForge and fix the code. Learn how to package for Debian, use mentors.debian.net to find a sponsor (maybe) and reintroduce the package as the new upstream developer. OR Just use the package from Lenny. It hasn't changed - that's the main reason it was removed, along with no evidence of any significant user-base. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
