I haven't noticed it.  I looked at it right now, and I think I see where
you're going with this.  I was thinking in a different direction.

I'm not sure why we'd want a frm2pl.pl long term.  It would be better if a
program could read the source frm file each time, allowing further changes
to the form to be done in VB IDE.

Msk.pl maybe could read input in several different formats: msk, frm, etc.
I'd probably want to rename it and rethink how it's used.  Making it into a
class module, with sub classes for the different input formats is one way to
go.  Most of msk.pl would move to this module.  Msk.pl, looking much
simpler, would become one kind of use of this module, and frm2pl.pl would be
another kind of use.  Another use would be for a program to use the module
to build it's dialog.  This probably should tie in with any GUI form
designers for Win32::GUI.  I haven't had a chance to look at them yet.


(As you can probably tell, I'm using Outlook.  I want to move these messages
over to Agent at home...I'm still hashing out how I want to do it.  Then my
replies will look like newsgroup messages ought to look like.  Please
forgive and bear with me.  I haven't participated in a group for quite a
while :-)


Thanks,
