I don't see what you are talking about releasing - the framework looks designed to run from source. Perhaps you could provide more information on how you intend for it to be used here - I'm going on the README.txt. - Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
