<DIV><SPAN class=672083608-24052006> <FONT face=Arial>I
stumbled across mscross (<A

<DIV><SPAN class=672083608-24052006> <FONT face=Arial>I am
writing to inquire if there are any javascript developers who might be
interested in making something like a stripped-down Google-like API using this
great tool. I have some ideas for this, but haven't got the time to implement
all of them. I contacted the folks at Datacrossing about this but haven't
yet heard from them.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
