PEPr, unfortunately, is very tightly bound to the pearweb code, and would be a big hassle to separate as it currently stands. We have been working (by we, I mostly mean Helgi) for over a year now trying to clean up pearweb and still are only about halfway through the codebase, but when PEPr is tackled, I will let you all know. Of course, if there is someone enterprising who wants to assist with that specific part of the cleanup, the code is in cvs at pearweb/. PEPr-specific code is located in pearweb/include/pepr, pearweb/public_html/pepr, and pearweb/cron/pepr.php. Thanks, Greg
