Those are the same, except one has the QSA add-on tacked on.

It is and it isn't. It's not in the repository (though it will be once I cut a release). But you can get every bit of it from the Builder. Or just click the handy "Build Test" link in the TOC and then click "Download". ;) > >> Still, I don't see what this has to do with... Oh wait, yes I do.

It's all ASP/VBS, so I don't know how many people would really be interested in it. I've got to figure some smart (or snoopy) eggs out there have much of it already as I accidentally uploaded the master file (mylib.js) with all of the server side directives a few weeks ago (deleted today). For now, pay no attention to the bot behind the curtain. :)

And this is what I mean about open-sourcing: It will allow others to make the software more accessible, and to meet needs the original author didn't anticipate (OK, that's enough RMS for now).
