Nope. I'm just back home and was checking my e-mail for news.

Hereafter I will have a close look at the lba/id samples I got
from some of my CDs, taken from a Linux system I visited today.
I'm sure this will resolve the problem with the different IDs.

Are you the one who keeps the Linux code right now?

1) common code base

If you look at my hacked cdindex-0.2 version, you can easily
see what parts of code are common between Linux and FreeBSD
and what are not.

Even if this is a rather trivial client I would like to have
a common code base.

If you don't mind I could make it use the configure mechanism
for this purpose.

2) improvements of the www site

Is it possible to work with you on improving the web site?

I would like to see some growth statistics like on
www.distributed.net - shouldn't be hard, if one can
run gnuplot on your server.

Even if the present cdindex format is just a very preliminary
one, I would like to have more retrieval features.

Bye,
Marc
