Still, I must weasel out (wuss out, if you will). I have not looked at this 
thing
in any detail at all. I hoped that if you thought it might be an important 
tool you
or you and Bear would have a closer look or install it for a trial period.
It does sound interesting. Maybe the author woudld be interested in helping 
us or
modififying the code to suit our needs. This has been known to happen.
Back in the middle ages I asked the author of Magpie BBS to write a patch for 
me
to run a door to another BBS proggy, he did and it worked great: I ran WWIV 
within Magpie within
Remote Access under Front Door and Tosscan; all had network feeds. I 
discovered the WW author in AT.
Ask Chad what that is.
