Yes, This looks quite promising: "The only existing real web page is the dispatcher page that routes request coming from the remote client to the appropriate function of the program. Events triggered by user's clicks are then dispatched to the handler function that replies to these events." Your Random routines also look useful. I have a couple stupid questions: How do I "install" bt_ on my server? Do I install PHPLint and this is installed at the same time? My existing code is licensed as GPL2. I don't know if using bt_ invokes a license requirement for my code, but is there anything about bt_ that would clash? -Alan -- Alan D.
