Hi Chris -- Thanks for the response! It's never too late ;)
We actually based our cut on a little earlier release - I believe we are using the whisper db underneath at the moment. However, the unix sys calls were gotten around as needed. We actually wrote a Windows service to help with things a bit. What is the best way to get the information about what we did to people out there that might want to use it as a way to go forward? Thanks! -Ron On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 10:44 PM, Chris Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > Ron, first off I'm terribly sorry your message sat in a queue for 2 months. > Launchpad doesn't notify me when there are mailing list messages pending > approval and I got lax in checking so sorry for that. > > I think this would be really valuable to a lot of people.
