Sounds like it'd be more useful for me to help on the TMail version (since that's what I'd end up using anyway).. is that code posted anywhere yet, or would you be willing to send/post it?

That's often what happens with SA; the scores are all determined with some fancy AI code I think. -- Jay Levitt | Boston, MA | My character doesn't like it when they Faster: jay at jay dot fm | cry or shout or hit. http://www.jay.fm | - Kristoffer
