Hi there.  Re CMF and ZPatterns I said, in another thread...

I may have said that too strongly; I'm sorry.  In any case, going straight
to you--am I right that one would have to probably maintain this approach
along with CMF upgrades?  I noticed you said, in a similar thread from which
I took the subject line:

Do you mean by this making a specialist into a CMF tool?  If so, I was
pondering this very thing.  I'd love to see what you've put together so far,
if you feel like sharing.

Thanks a lot
