Hmmm ... I don't recall reading that anywhere, but it's good to know that you will be releasing the source code to the linux version of the loader. However,
I did see where you would be releasing information/stubs for the API(s). For
what it's worth, the 8c version of 'emptool' has been 'cumbersome' to use. 'upload' has some undesired (I suspect) side effects ... but that's not the point here, the point of this thread is some alternate code to experiment with. It seems as though there would be no harm in having some extra code with which one could experiment. From my perspective, I'd like to make a stab at it, because there are several elements to this, which I think I could learn a lot from. Maintaining the database, setting up the communications, designing a GUI, and the inevitable 'purple gorilla problems'. I suspect that there are others who wouldn't mind going through the learning curve as well; actually making the decisions which affect the way a particular app behaves puts a different spin things. I'm sure you are aware of all these things, especially, since you've done most (all?) of the decision making regarding 'emptool', et. al.
