Fair enough, I shall wait.  If I were in the position to lend some code, I 
certainly would!

>From a futures perspective, I would vote against smart-routing of lines as 
implemented in Visio.  It has been my experience that the smart router is 
more of a bother than a help; I'd much rather place the lines myself and 
not come back to find that the tool as rearranged them for me.  This is 
particularly annoying when one makes a slight move to one object and the 
router then disturbs a number of unrelated connections.  If you do build 
such a router, perhaps it could be an option that could be enabled or 
disabled by the user.

Once again, a fine tool!
