Buying standards bodies was probably the cheaper rout. Now they have the option of getting some of the 'No, with comments' votes to be 'Yes''s, IIRC. 'All' they have to do is to get rid of the non-open parts of the standard. At that point, I think most of the objectors stop shouting. It's left as an exercise for the reader to determine whether Microsoft is more likely to embrace openness or order a battalion of its lawyers to descend on Billerica. -Bill - Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Is it possible to just compile the new schedule grabber (svn url found?)
