I missed it ... perhaps others did as well ... 

Your reply goes exactly to the root of my post, I am trying to gather 
general input from prospectively interested parties.  If this project
does
not suit you, you simply ignore it.

Imagine that every writer out there stops writing simply because there
are
other people writing ... or worst yet, we chose not to learn because
some
one else already knows it ... ???   By the way, I am not saying that I
am 
a writer or anything near that, I simply believe that yours is the wrong
position and one should NOT do something simply because some has already
given it a try.

Am I to believe that the work John did is the final word?  Is there
nothing
beyond that?  No one should dare do unless never done before?  I did not
know John had done such thing and I am not intending to measure myself
to
him nor his work.  Every one knows he's the bigger man.  Let this
project be
what it is truly intended to be and for those that may be interested in.

This is the attitude that has plagued the filePro community and I hope
it
changes.

Please note that what I am trying to do here is to bring people together
not to set them apart.  I am trying to build a place where we can all
share
our interest in filePro and all things programming if possible, coupled
with
a some other areas of interest.

I have received a couple of suggestions and I thank you all for your
input.

Jose,

I'm not saying not to do your project.  I just knew that you had not
been around the list for the last year or so and that you may not have
been aware that John had already done a project that sounds very similar
to what you are talking about doing.  I just wanted to make sure you
were aware of it.

Regards,

Scott
