Don't ask me to do stuff like maintaining web content. I am bound to mesh things up. However, making documents more readable is a task I could do well. Also, shell programming (bash) is something I do on occasion also. Still learning tricks their. So, you can sent me some trial documents if you like. Let me spent my time fruitfully instead of twiddling my thumbs ;) Frans. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
