I'm a retired school teacher, I know some C++, I'd be happy to help out with dev if I can, though I may not know enough, but would be willing to try. I know some c++ and lisp/scheme and music theory. I have a Windows 7 laptop, Netbeans for C++ dev. Let me know if there may be ways to help out with the development end. - thanks
