uhm, err, uhm, what you describe certainly sounds like a reasonable

situation... you want to automate your work!


Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you today, but, uhm, as you may

know the Macromedia Generator hosting and sub-licensing terms have been

under revision, and it's, ah, reasonable to suppose that there are some

changes in the wind....


(I realize I'm sounding dreadful here, but I'm trying to get across the

idea that there is hope for this approach in the very near future... if you

can hold off a bit on committing to a decision then I hope we can have a

more open discussion on this topic very, very soon.)
