Thank you, your meeting sounds fun. But I'm not competent enough a programmer to make the trip from Isle, MN. I'm really learning which software systems might apply to different uses. I'm something of a Biophysicist. Twenty years ago I pushed the internet (or the fiber optic "neural network" grid, anyway). Now I'm pushing a new fuel cell "power grid" using "biomass" fuels. Basically, I'm a hardware guy. My wife works high up in a major food processing plant; more machinery. Instrumentation and controls are my interest. Linux is the only way to go. A GUI is important. A versatile GUI OOP IDE is a very big deal. The Borland Kylix compiled Pascal system is the best solution I've seen. I live at the end of the internet line out here. These big downloads take (frustrating) hours. I wish I had better access to the people you suggest. But for now, I have "hardware" to put together. Your information is appreciated and not a "shameless plug." Please keep me informed. Thanks, Rick. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 8/1/01, 12:47:32 PM, "Lee J.
