I was just about to suggest you just start accepting update submissions from the public at large. Editing a web page is fairly easy with the newer versions of Netscape. Then I stumbled across http://www.adahome.com/HBAP/Submission.html . Perhaps a large part of the problem is that its not well publicized that folks can do this. Hmmm....the copyright notice at the bottom of the page seems to prohibit any submissions that include the previous contents of an AdaHome page (that would be a "reproduction in part", right?) That would make submitting a modification a copyright violation! Perhaps a clarification is in order. You might even be able to get some major tasks done for free, if you let it be known what needs doing. > Santa Claus, are you out there? It is nearing the end of the year. All you compiler and tool vendors out there need to start thinking about spending some extra advertising dough in order to raise your business' advertising tax deductions... -- T.E.D. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
