For all of us whether we just want to know what's out there or want to create our own in fields not yet touched by what is out there, we need to know somehow. Once we have that list of existing stuff out there, we can fill in the gaps. Talk to the authors of what's out there see what we can do about incorporating their efforts within the library, etc etc.. -- St�phane Richard "Ada World" Webmaster http://www.adaworld.com
