I am, yes. This is great news :-)

I'm guessing more than just us and them have this requirement to storing 
files...
I'll talk to them after I look at the code and see if we can seperate it 
into a seperat library (which we can depend on).

        <pre wrap="">My plan was to save these (picutre/sound) files in the kvtml file
aswell. My plan is then to change the kvtml filetype to be a
collection filetype, like openoffice packs its files as zip

If you are talking about the code that maintains a zip archive
