I asked Douglas if he'd consider changing the license and made it clear I'd rather use his library than invest the time into building a new one. I'm hoping he's open to the idea of a less restrictive license. If not, then it's "moving right along." ron __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
