Sorry if it sounded that way. I was just trying to point out to other readers here that interested parties can help out with the interface without owning an OPLC themselves.

sorry for taking your comment in ways you didn't intend. I just have had too many times when a discussion of tools has gone

person 1: X has these problems try using Y

person 2: why don't you contribute code to fix X instead

sometimes the right answer isn't to work on product X to 'fix' it (in some cases the 'fix' is in direct conflict with the goals of project X), but to just switch to a different option
