Because I'm sometimes slow. ;)   Scott's recommendation that we use
SourceForge was the clincher for me, since it's his baby.  The more I looked
into it the easier it got, so while I'm sometimes slow I do eventually
learn.

Cool. What's the URL?  I thought you couldn't set up a project there until
you had a file ready to go.... (still learning it seems).

Could it be changed to GPL?  Or is there an advantage to LGPL over GPL for
this project?

I'm all about doing as little as possible, so if you like laziness we're in
the same boat. ;)
