Well, several years ago, yes. Since then the project was taken over by some volunteers and they did an excellent job of restructuring and modernizing (somewhat) the *standalone* part of gadfly, but apparently they didn't port the *client/server* component properly. As it stands the client server portion is broken now. (I hadn't tried it after the port, sorry). I think if you find an older (pre-sourceforge) tarball it will work. I will try to find time to fix this, unless someone else wants to have a try. Sorry! Also, the reference to the new release on the site refers to a mini-release I did a year or more ago which fixed various bugs and also added an xsdb interface component. -- Aaron Watters === There once was a man from Japan whose limericks never would scan when told this was so he said "yes, I know, but I always try to put as many words in the last line as I possibly can." -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
