There isn't such a library, indeed. I've been thinking about turning the server side of NBD into a library and making nbd-server depend on that off and on for a few years, but it just hasn't happened (yet?) -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
