I just adapted an existing C# example (see link from RDNZL website) and that's what you should probably do as well if you're looking for more. There's most likely /lots/ of C# code out there which does what you want. If you've found something and if you have problems adapting the C# code to Lisp, ask on the mailing list and I'll try to help. Cheers, Edi.
