Dude:

Sure I'll take a tar-ball. I'll be busy for the next 3 weeks on a
project.

I have been following the SQL-ledger effort for some time, and had told
myself
that inter-operability with JAVA would be a good thing. Don't get me
wrong, I like
perl coding quite a lot, but JAVA brings the ability for all sorts of 
extra functionality.

I'm not an accountant either, but, lack of knowledge is the only reason
I accept
coding projects. Hell if I know quite a bit about something, then, I
usually
do not want to code on it(I'm basically a middle aged
grouchy-fuck.........)

ER what are your intentions/desires with the 80% intellectual property
of a PD port............? (basically I do not care, but, I'm curious to
see
what you value it at)
