well, the interface is close, and I had immediate uses *almost* working
on the previous interface which I abandoned when I tried to integrate it
to LNO (:-). Most issues I had left were painful experiences with GC....
A lot also depends on my vacation schedule. If I can get my remaining
problem resolved with the interface, we might have it in a week. I'll
post the interface and the problem with it for comments today.
