Hi,

I agree with you James in that it gets cumbersome at times and really
difficult to debug at others.  But when it works, it feels great.
In fact that's why I wrote my little howto so I can go over it to make
sure I haven't missed any steps.  Most of my problems come
from mistakes in typos/cut/paste problems.  Unfortunately I haven't
reached the point of being able to improve intake's source though.

Regards,
Dan
