Already done that once - I was hoping that someone actually wrote up some
kind of functional description, since the use and sequence of the 2
levels, what calls do what and what data structures are needed and built
how and when is pretty complex.
Since you seem to have written it, given a few years ago - is there any
more details what you have already written up ? Or should I just do that
and, then can I get your comments on it ?
