-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- hi rick, thanks for taking the time and effort to write up your comments. the current automation interface is an ad hoc effort that gives basic functionality; you've spelled out several of its limitations - my comments inline below. as the next generation of the e-gold system is built, (from the ground up) we'll have programmers like you in mind. an automation interface will be an integral part of the system. expect a set of SOAP interfaces to perform functions. i would also expect a set of backward compatible pages to keep the existing users of the automation interface happy. jay w.

Did I actually make that the timezone is GMT (UTC if you prefer). the clocks should be within a few seconds of "standard time". > PASSWORDS: To me, the query functionality is less secret than > paying.

I would good suggestion. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.3 iQEVAwUBOwEhwcyM0YPqVE7FAQETDAf/cr3XwmVfQriBQEc2OGLDYdTxR3tjs4fE Kpr/oNgJRocCv5Hzv9oSKgltb9JFmblADcoF0Up6RFFZ/MSfuqNZFhl5nB0+ggA5 lC9m2RVpW5G8U/awBT9vTBd5YrjQKuJ6vxNdKehy83ewMs/rX2voKjdQhAfd+XIY ldZHq5f36WassAI52ij8adclONZl9cRNZjLfCAkH/B8XHHcgVmlRrTz9LkjHrSGD VH6sjIbDrOy7Pl/hTEzEgXDelwRlTRUI0sgI4Z04NIscRzwBYRYw3q+W2GrZZCko 3Hvls/klNYeXj046mqtXvPRleiJR36+Qwzp5vZoC8Rs/4Ove4Bzg/g== =Z6ha -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-tech as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
