Well, I took that statement to heart and started digging into the source code (hoping I would be able to understand it) While I haven't given up yet, code at this level looks pretty magic to me. I haven't even figured out where to start tweaking yet. Basically what I'm asking is for any references to get me started on understanding the vinum code. At a low level it seems pretty well documented, but I'm looking for a broader explanation. Something like "File xxx.c contains routines for foo, file yyy.c contains routines for doing bar." This is not guarantee that I'm at the point where I can figure this out. But as I said before, I'm not ready to give up yet. TIA -Bill -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
