Glad you like it. Thanks for the kinds words. > There is still a big concern remaining in the system though, and that's > the reliance on Logitech's website.

It's not a concern at all, and it's not a goal of this project, see the FAQ: http://www.phildev.net/concordance/faq.shtml#q10 > I tried to find something in the archives, but couldn't really find > anything touching on the matter. I did notice the FAQ entry though, but It's been discussed several times before, though sadly not under a subject that you might easily find int he archives. See this thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=E1JVDl2-0002vc-KP%40sc8-sf-web21.sourceforge.net And particularly, this message: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=47BCA743.9010601%40ipom.com As well as this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1875923&group_id=201579&atid=978130 It's been discussed several times before, and I don't want to start the discussion again. However, I'm glad that now it's under a useful subject so it should be more easily searchable in the archives. > even if you have no intention of making the web site obsolete, you > might have some information gathered from reverse engineering the > devices.

I don't know - though Kevin has a decent understanding of it, I believe. Either way, the goal of this project is to allow you to use the remote the way you could on "their supported OS's" on any OS. Access to the website is a feature and part of what I/you/we paid for, and I see no reason to not use it. Even if I could create the binary blobs for the remote, I don't have the billions of codes they have from people uploading their codes, and vendor agreements, etc. over the last 5+ years. -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk'; Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it; Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job; Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient; Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
