I merely passed on a suggestion Dave had, I dont think that suggestion was "Throw it all out", but that the bits related to Hg maybe better considered fully from scratch, rather attempting to beat them into a foreign world. That said, I'm not involved in this aspect. I don't intend to be. You guys do whatever you think is best. -- Rich
