No problem Patrick. As long as we discuss things I think all of us can get
something out of it. Also don't misunderstand me. I like the xAP design a

I was downloading some of your code yesterday and will probably steal some
parts from you (with your original header left intact of course).  Why
did't you go for GPL?
