Re: PowerExt (www.PowerExt.com)

Aaron,

I downloaded and installed it but I can't get it to run.  However, 
walking through the code, it is well done.

The web site forum has had very little traffic, reflecting what I posted 
about yesterday: Trying to get the word out in the IBM i world can be 
difficult without an organization like IBM or Common promoting it.

Thanks for this!  When I get a chance I'll spend some time in this code 
and in yours to see where I can contribute.

Pete
