Wow that's a great little program thanks for the info man that's really helpful.

Sorry bout the overquoting.

Even Microsoft (they have more programmers than we) has only [...] us simple folk more interested in backward compatibility
than in forward progress.

Hmmm okay I'm just a young 'un I don't know these things.

You are a programmer. You can use my code (it is open source) as a start
to write ...

Well, um maybe I could do it. Like I said, I'm a programmer and I hold a CS degree. What would be involved? I know absolutely nothing about your data formats or anything but I'm a quick learner.

I guess if i were to help I'd have to start by studying some source code... I think I read somewhere ...

There was a post this morning in the RTC editor development forum that was removed. It had no body just the subject about there already being an editor.

I know some of these questions are repeats of previous questions but I guess I'm too lazy to spend hours searching all the forums and archives... I've always hated forums for that reason. Lots and lots of information, very very ...
