I'd like to remedy this. I've done some reading on the topic (including Ariel Glenn's piece), and = I do=20 a bit of C hacking, but I've never done anything like this before, so I n= eed=20 a little handholding to point me in the right direction and give me some=20 pointers. Any volunteers who've done this before? Thanks!
