Karl, We'd love to have you to do this.
We would prefer that you do it in perl, or fix the existing script. However, if you really want to use bash, that'd be fine too. Also, please sign up for the devel list, if you haven't already. You can find the sign up page here: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-devel Thanks! -Brian Thus spake Lorn Kay ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > > > >I also think that would be a good thing to do.
