I have no Thank you, this is what I wanted to know.

That's assuming of course I can get enough documentation out of Artic to do so. I've not had much luck in this endevour in the past. I will certainly give it a try though. > The driver will have to be written in tclx (extended tcl), not in "Emacs" Well, now, that's not a language I'm familiar with, so it will take some doing to do the job, but if I can get the info I require from Artic Technologies, I'll certainly do what I can to make this work. > effort to make it work.

These are all good points, and just what I expected the first time. Not a message telling me to keep as many threads open as possible. I'll do what I can to make things work here, and as long as the rest of us do the same, we should have across the board access in no time. > > --- > Send your message for blinux-list to blinux-list@redhat.com > Blinux software archive at ftp://leb.net/pub/blinux > Blinux web page at http://leb.net/blinux > To unsubscribe send mail to blinux-list-request@redhat.com > with subject line: unsubscribe > Http://softcon.com offers web pages for a reasonable rate, and will even http://softcon.com for low-cost web space.
