Quite true.

I'd agreed to a company's exclusivity clause earlier in the year so I 
basically had to dump the entire project. Not that I wasn't way beyond sick 
of looking at it anyway. /-)

I really have no plans to ever work on it again, soooo... if a c programmer 
actually wants to finish the project I have no problems with anyone dumping 
the thing over at sourceforge.net and having a go at it. Open source and all.

Wait... yes I do have problems with c programmers. They should be c++ 
programmers. Reason? Some folks at NASA's primary contractor were having 
problems with the way it worked in a new deployment strategy a few weeks 
back. I tracked the issue down to the (now obvious) fact that most of the 
project was written in c and the global error reporting wasn't thread-safe. 
Easy to fix... if we weren't talking about something like 100,000 lines of 
code.

As pro-space as I am I was almost tempted to go in and fix the bloody thing 
just for them. Or hire some freshman CS.

If anyone seriously is interested in taking it over, just email me. I'll 
tell you everything you need to know to retrofit it into a set of nice 
thread-safe c++ COM's.
