I don't know if I would represent a BL node as a node in the GUI though.  What

No CORBA is used with the plugins?  But you just said that the DL and PL are

Yeah, I know that I have a list of requests from you and Brad...that old :-( 
Any new requests?

Actually, I've been working on an unrelated program on the side too, and that
