[RWP] SWS for Augmenting ReaAccess

[Indigo]

Okay, list members, we have Tim Payne of Still Water Studios onboard 
with the possibility of extending ReaAccess into STS code, which is open 
source.
What that means is that if things do not go well for ReaAccess from 
Ivan's group, we can get into programming ReaAccess to suit our needs.
Let's take a wait and see attitude at this point, since we may be 
worrying for nothing and Ivan will come through yet with a great new 
version of ReaAccess.
Even so, Jinseng has already used SWS code to correct problems in the 
present version of ReaAccess, so apparently we could do both, use 
ReaAccess as developed by Ivan, plus tweak it with SWS code.
I'm definitely not a programmer, so which of us is volunteering to be 
RWP's   SWS programmer in Chief?
Below is Tim's wonderfully kind response to my inquiry:
