Hi Phil,

Since this is more of a support question, but is very close to what is being
discussed over at IB_DESIGNER@egroups.com (a new list group for a series of
open source projects that are just begining) why don't you flip over there and
we can give you some details from our experiences. The list was started
yesterday to give a central repository for a series of discussions that have
been going on for a few weeks via direct emails.
We have been converting the BLR documentation to HTML (hopefully finished
today) as well as doing some parser work. That should be directly helpful to
you.

best regards

Dalton
