Understood. I didn't mean to come across so harshly. Sorry.  I, like many 
other people  just want to squeeze more oggs onto my Sharp Zaurus or other 
players without reencoding everything I have. I  (un)fortunetly encoded all 
my CDs at Q7 and several ogg CDs don't fit very well onto 128mb CF cards. :(

I realize you're not a huge corp, and I really wish I could help contribute to 
your project(s), but I don't write C code worth a f**c. ...at least not yet.

So, with that being said, do you have any timeframe set up whatsoever for 
bitpeel tools?
