Coding Structure and Documentation

[Benjamin Adams]

Andrew,

Thank you for the reply.
I will code in 3.4, for the past few years I have been using 2.7 but 
will start using the new version.  I see 2.x will be supported until 
2020, So 3.4 is the way to go.

Next year when this I expect to release this.  I will be converting it 
to ports and can maintain it. Next year because I will be coding in my 
free time and want to have something stable before sending it out to the 
BSD world.

Thanks for the emails.

Ben
