I realise that it's probably too late already, but dare I say C++? Did anyone ever even consider this? As for the plugin distribution, I think the nicest way would be to have a plugin manager that would enable you to download plugins from the web on the fly. Something Linux distributions have too, you just connect to the server, list the available plugins, let the user select what he/she wants, download and install them. That would IMHO certainly be the nicest solution. Lourens
