Could you submit it to the sourceforge tracker to have it included into freevo? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=46652&atid=446898 The instructions should go in the wiki http://doc.freevo.org/ John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
