An oversight. I was focused on the main functions and simply forgot about it. (I should mention this was something I've been doing as time permits over the last two weeks or so. The plan, in fact, was to release it as a beta on monday (today) or tuesday. The code is _that_ new. As it stands it'll probably be sometime tomorrrow night I think.) > Does your CFX tag support that function? Um. Sec... (Ok another sec....) .... Why yes, it apparently does now. However, after submittin the required email/zip/street, I'm getting back a "You do not have permissions to make this API call". It's the only function call that returns that error. So... when I've some time later today i'll look into it further.... > Could you explain your acronyms.. GTF, RF and TS.... Sorry.
