Nitin,
This sounds very promising! would it be possible for you to share some of
your source with me? If you would like to send attached files, perhaps you
should mail me privately. I know attachments are often frowned upon in a
mailing list environment with good cause.
If your code is part of a for-sale product, perhaps we could arrange some
type of evaluation.
