The apps themselves could be encrypted .inc files and the frames could be unencrypted to facilitate adaptation for different sites. That way your intellectual property is preserved but we can develop around the apps for our own sites. The default installation would be exactly the way that SMSI would set it up; we could modify it a little, a lot, or not at all, depending on local needs.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
