Very good.  You might want to check out some of the posts by mikespub this
summer as to how to keep BL and Encompass modular and see if that helps you
out.

I have been over to your site, and like the work:)  I was thinking about
taking a look at a couple of your modules and making sure that they still
work as is with our compatibility layer.  Haven't done it though;)

BTW, it doesn't take that long to convert a module over.  The longest part
is working on the templating, but pnAPI is still included, so that's not
necessarily a must to do.  However, you do loose quite a bit of the
functionality by not doing templates in the modules;)
