Hi James,

I haven't done much to Optz since I sent the mail. I can grab CLI
from CVS and have a proper look at it. If I can fit my code into
the CLI library I will. If I think it is too much effort or not
feasible I will post my reasons to the list.
I'll post with my progress on the issue later in the week.
Cheers,
