Hi Heribert,
Yes, that's a reasonable suggestion. I haven't read much of Chris' posts, 
but Corinna has written a lot of posts with 'suid' in them and I've read a 
lot of those. Clearly, she's a sharp cookie, and it would be a privilege 
to have her working on code for me. However, I think she and her present 
management would object to the terms of the employment contract! If she 
got the same deal as I have, she'd have to work 16+ hour work days, every 
day (no weekends, holidays, vacation, sick time), barely any pay, and 
would be expected to write bug-free code! -smile-
Another consideration is feasibility: How close is the code already? And, 
if it's not very close, are there good alternatives for what I want to do?
Please see my next post...
Thanks for your suggestion,
Richard
