It requires only 2 routines. One routine is to parse a Tag and the other routine to parse an entire template. I use such routines in Java and Perl, each of them are less than 50 lines. I hope developing such routines in C is not too complex. --- "Paul L. Allen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It would be a lot of work to do.

I also do agree it�s lot of work required to change SqWebMail C programs. By taking out all HTML code from SqWebMail C programs may give arise an opportunity to user interface (UI) developers to develop compelling and competing user interfaces to the SqWebMail. End users can download and try them with SqWebMail. So Mr. Sam�s burden can be largely reduced. He just has to specify what data are available in what template and release very elementary templates to show how to use it. Professional UI developers can have the freedom to change the structure by changing the HTML and layout by changing the CSS. Finally, if Mr. Sam is interested, please let me know to see what help I can arrange. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
