I've been out for a while - last week I was in Boulder taking Eklektix's
(the LWN folks) Linux System Administration class and the week before
that I was visiting a friend and travelling around Alberta, so it's been
a while since I've done much work on this.

However, I think I'll be doing more soon.  I've got quite a bit of it
compiling, but there are a few nasty little bugs to track down. 
Mauricio has some of it working under Delphi (but not the graphing). 
That Pascal test code I released wasn't pretty (though the libraries are
OK).  I'm starting to feel bad about inflicting it on society.  :-)

I am starting to work on some graphing code for Linux.  It will start
out dumping an ASCII grid that will resemble a graph.  But it's written
in OOP so adding a class for a real graph should be easy.

As for other help, if anyone knows C++ fairly well, including the
Standard Template Library, and has some knowledge of calculus, and has
some free time and really wants to hack on something like this, drop me
a note and I can probably dig up something to blackbox out to you.

Also someone that knows GTK would be good - you could write the front
end to it, something I don't immensely want to do.  Preferrably GTK-- so
it could be all C++.
