Thanks Dieter! You're quite right, that sounds like it would work--and it is something I wouldn't have thought of, so good to have a reminder of acquisition magic in somewhat different contexts
I've got a beta of the non-UI features of my replacement already, and since I've invested some work in it and I think it would be a more graceful solution in the end anyway (YMMV) I'm going to go ahead with it. Still, really much appreciated. Planning to release my clunky early beta within the week; I'd love to hear your suggestions on it when it comes out. Thanks again.
