Yeah, could be. And if it wasn't, it could still be done, if written as an external binary, for example (which would get around any licensing, or threading, issues, etc), assuming its portable enough c++, etc. I dont think a program written in ada, though, for example, would be particularly useful because of the added burden of maintaining an ada development environment. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
