Steve,

   Sorry for the delay in sending a reply, but I've been up to my
ears with work and the flying club too. Anyhow, adding support for the
include files would be a good start. I have a pretty good idea as to how
to do it if you get stuck.

   Give us a shout when you get close, so we can kick around ideas
as to the best way to do this. I think there is a pretty clear way
to proceed with this, but I caveat that with the fact that I haven't
thought much about fplan design since early June or so.

   There is a CVS server, but only Michael can add new names.
He has been pretty busy lately, with the latest RH 6.1 release I
suspect.  I'm sending you a source tarball from my CVS account under
seperate cover to get you going in the meantime.  It shouldn't be a
problem in the sense that I most likely won't be doing anything in
parallel for another few weeks at a minimum, so merges won't be an
issue for now.

Later, JOhn
