Ok Phil, my email address is, greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gbrayton.com----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Halton" <philhalt@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 9:28 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: ChordStrum.calHi Greg, Its super easy from a technical point of view. I've documented its installation & use. Why don't I send you the documentation file(its a notepad text file) offline, and let you look it over. If you think youcanhack it--we'll go from there.----- From: "Greg Brayton" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 8:47 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: ChordStrum.cal > Phil I'm a guitar player, and I'd love to try this, but as a computerwise> fellow, you'd have to say I'm not as with it.
