0.9<BR><BR>Jules,<BR><BR>We have had lots of problems being able to use the
toolkits from our own<BR>server because of having to create our own database
to login users and<BR>also because we don't know anything about ldap and
only a little PHP.<BR><BR>Will this new version let us just slap it onto the
