I agree with the conclusion, we definitely need something... Markus is apparently working on something and if we stopped discussing this topic, it's probably because we are waiting to see his code. I think it will be a first step and everyone interested in such a class will have to try to contribute to make Markus code fit their needs. Markus said he would show his code by the end of the week. I don't want to put too much pressure on him but we are all waiting for it... :-) So, this is still work in progress. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
