I think it may be time to end this thread here. My apologies to all involved. I'm not usually such a bastard, honest, I'm a nice guy who didn't get enough sleep. My only problem was that I started the project in the 'spirit' of free software and got rubbed the wrong way when I was given opinions I didn't ask or care for.
Special thanks goes to Joseph Carter, you have obviously done your fair share of work with regards to free software and didn't deserve the dishing I gave. If anyone wants to help with my port in the future, (not ready for release to anyone yet) drop me a note and we'll work something out. I doubt I be back to you list anytime soon so farewell all. andrew wansink
