It's been a while since I've been, as well - but I might be under
the 1 year mark.

Ugh.  I was hoping for easy .NET framework interoperability, since I'd
like to (at some point) write a windows forms gui frontend.  We're
using .NET for a different application, and use Mono for Linux, but
I don't want to write managed .NET code, and Mono is really nowhere
near ready for prime-time.

I'll play around with a Soap::Lite server and talk to the .NET SOAP
expert around here.  I'll report back if anybody's interested.

Cool.  That makes it easier, since I usually get the emails the day
of, which is harder for me to schedule.
