I am looking into ccHost now. It will do me no good to write a browser for OCAL if I cannot standardize on a method of communicating with it. That being said, looking into Inkscape's code will allow me to get a working model for communication with OCAL, but working with/on ccHost you flesh out a communications API, would move OCAL adoption further than my browser alone. Thank you for the suggestion. Kevin On Dec 3, 2008 9:57pm, Jon Phillips <jon@rejon.org> wrote: > This is super cool guys! Yes, this is true of Inkscape.
