well, i started looking at the document on the SMB format -- heh, i havent
done any c programming in quite some time, but the doc is fairly readable.  by
day i'm a vb programmer... since it seemed as if you had the formats pretty
well defined, i've tinkered with the thought of creating classes  to wrap the
layout and maybe tap into the message base files --- tinkered with the thought
is the operative word here there's not really any code written yet.

anyways, i'd go the javascript approach, but i just don't even want to go
there.  i'm not a real big fan of javascript -- partly because i'm cold as
dirt using it, and the only real thing i've ever done with java script is web
client side validation of values.  sure, i could learn the object model, but
i'd much rather stick to something i'm more familiar with before i start
exploring javascript and waste a whole lot of time writing this simple little
program.
