Dear Idris, Thanks for your offer. I am considering a transfer to Context. I guess I'll have to patient a bit longer. Of course would like to give your package a try (and comment on it). However, I am not quite sure about getting involved in Omega. I tried it before and could not get it right. In case you need any help: let me know!
Thanks again!
