Oh man. I _really_ was hoping you wouldnt say this. :-( I was offline for a few days there and got frustrated with trying to get smoke testing to work properly under VDS/nmake. By the time I was done I had put a lot more work into it than I meant to. > Things being as they are, I'd be happy to hand over > maintenance of Test::Smoke > to you.

In fact im ready to bin what I have and shut up if it means bad feelings. Seriously. Im _not_ that kind of person. Also, I do _not_ have access to Borland compilers. Nor do I have access (currently anyway) nor the experience (for the forseeable future) to build under *nix/cygwin. (obviously i have access to the later, but no experience). Im perfectly happy to roll up everything I have, clean out all of my debug/dev code and hand the lot over to you. Id also be perfectly happy to work under your direction with regards to this. Really, please reconsider your offer. Perhaps we should converse offlist and figure out what you have already done, what i have already done and merge them together. Then we can figure out whats left and finish it without duplication of effort. Im positive that there are things that are on your TODO list that arent on mine, and vice versa. With a considerable amount of chagrin, yves
