Didn't someone start on a "Matt Right" site some time ago? I can't find it, though. Anyhow, having alternatives to Matt would indeed be good. In fact a couple years ago I had started on it. The reason I gave up is because writing a drop-in replacement is complicated and unrewarding. It's not just the code that's bad about Matt scripts (IMO); the setup and config etc is pretty bad too. Unfortunately, I think it's precisely the schlocky conventions which make these scripts seem "friendly". So, you will have to make a decision: are you willing to write/host better scripts with better interfaces at the risk of not being very popular? (If so, I'll be happy to contribute.) -- Tushar Samant ~ ~ :wq
