<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2">Yeah, perl
will be my first major programming language. As part of my job I program
CNC machine centres, they're basically simple alphanumeric commands moving
on an xyz grid. The bit I'm really good at is simple logic routines
automating calculations, branching programs, downsizing repetitive programs
by looping subroutines. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2">All of my
programming sense comes from the logic derived from my experiences with
that.</FONT></DIV>

learn WML a few months ago, but forgot it all when I realised it was no
good to me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2">I was keen
to use a database as I was considering a program with many blank
redundancies built in. My logic was it would be easy to refer back to a
familiar database to add a new xAP device, than add code for a specific
device. I expected someone to recommend against a database to keep the
network decentralise:)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2">I've got a
nice little self-tutorial lined up for a plugin. I'll make a final decision
about the main plugin after I've got some experience with
that.</FONT></DIV>

have been out doing a rain dance too ;-) I know how you feel though Stuart
- there are just so many things that arecrying out for xAPping - Max I
welcome you as
another helping hand here, bewarned it's addictive
though. Would Perl be your first major programminglanguage or are
you familiar with others ?? >

although I haven't played with itmyself - this might be another way of you
starting with just focussing onone xAP from a SliMP3 plugin

testing.K - had a forgetful day obviously - but got his Ethernet downloader
fullyworking - I can now update my xAP Rabbits code remotely
