[re: leafnode ]

>Any chance of a port submission ?  Sounds like a good package.

It is.  It's a great package.  I've been meaning to whip it into port-
submittable form for a while now, but just haven't gotten around to it.
Always something else coming up and grabbing my attention.  :-)

BTW, I've also written a new version of XHDR for leafnode, if anyone's
interested.  I was getting tired of being limited to matching only on
overview data, so I extended it to allow lookups of any header field.
Very useful in your trn killfile.  See my home page below.

Now, if I can just focus on one thing for a while, I'll try and get a port
together.  By the way, should I just port the standard package, or include
my XHDR extension?  The author wants me to revise it a bit before he
includes it in his official package (I basically zapped all of his code
that did overview lookups; he'd like me to incorporate it, using my code
only if the header is not in the overview).  Haven't even begun doing that
yet.

So much to do, so little time!
