It shouldn't be too hard to knock the whole thing up. It doesn't sound like it's too difficult to do.
One of the points of it would be that it is quickly put together from available pieces (high quality well-tested modules with known behaviour I mean), tied together with a very little code written to perform a specific task. The story being told to much of the health service, including general practices who have run terminals on SCO Unix for years, is that email can only be done on Windows, that Word documents cannot be read without Windows, and that all of this is easy to use and secure against supplier variation and intruders. One has to wonder whether the NHS planning and management performance is distinguished by its level of effectiveness in IT, or if it manages a uniform effectiveness across a wide range of management and business activity. -- From one of the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
