Curtis,
Alas still working like a dog to earn a crust. Did some updates, and
recompiled the system clean, though without any real code updates I
doubt the veracity of the system.
I wish I could spend some time on this, and move it to fruition, but I
am stuck in a rut at the moment. The best I can do is upload the latest
source (a massive 67 lines of code to allow clean compile), to anon ftp,
and let you compile it.
I'll try to make some time (how, I don't know) to get the site forum
back up at some point in the near future.
I know this sounds crap, but I really have no time these days, and life
shouldn't be like this.
Regards,
Al.
