Best thing is to put your code on a web-site from where anyone interested can download it and try it out. If you don't have a suitable place, feel free to email it direct to me ([email protected]) and I'll put it on my site for downloads. (And I'll give it a good try-out, and look over the code, etc. :-) Thank you. -- Alex Tweedly mailto:[email protected] www.tweedly.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
