Hi Maruice!

   Only briefly, but I haven't had a chance to try incorporateing it...  Nor
did you mention where you used it...  As a replacement for the subroutine?

  I gather that it requires hat it requires the Posix module?  That brings up
the question (for me) of how standard is that module for Perl installations...

    Sounds interesting!  How do you plan to interface to it?

    I'd  certainly be interested in seeing it!

    And do you have a Sourceforge account?   If so, could add what you are
doing to the ftnpl project there...
