Jim,

Don't stop doing what you're doing. I'm going to throw in some
ideas and maybe try resructuring things here and there. Your
code can evolve later, right now it works.

Here's some inspirational Perl. http://misterhouse.net
The site seems to be down at the moment but I listed
the features here. It is all done in Perl

Wow! To be honest I'm not a big fan of C++, it's like
an OO hack on top of C, but then Java won't fit the
bill here with GUI and such.

It's a blend of elm, pine (pine is not elm), and
other elmish clients. You need a name that follows
the "is not" theme. GNU is not unix. Pine is not
elm. Your mongrel is not java and not C++.

LOL. Look closely at Dave's BWView ...

Kind of gives me visions of infinity. =8^)

That UFO looks like a slice of a pyramid too.
I'm one of those infinte dreamers too.
Somewhere in the middle is reality.
Namaste,
Doug
