Eric,

   It is configured for it and webcollab runs just fine. This other
application, however, is so screwed up that the full day I wasted on it last
week was enough for me.

   I'm building the UI using the Qt Designer; I'll rummage in the php files to
figure out what should be on each form and how it fits together. The former
will go on Qt forms and the latter will be translated to python.

   No, thanks. One's enough here for sql-ledger and webcollab. I let my ISP
host the business web site.

   It ain't. I try to never expose myself in public. Intentionally, at least.

Thanks,

Rich
