G'day Michael, I'm sure Gerard should comment as well, but I think you could be of significant benefit in this ... (a) show us a screenshot of your VB program, to give Gerard more input on the GUI design, (e.g. by uploading a PNG to the CVS server, or using e-mail) (b) review the GUI design Gerard comes up with, to ensure we end up with a high quality product, (e.g. by downloading from the CVS server and building as each major function is built) (c) help us to build (via CVS) the set of template layouts for various common screen resolutions. (e.g. upload suggested netrekrc files, test other suggestions on your platform, etc). So yes, I suggest you sign up. I see no reason why you can't contribute given the skills you have. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
