$95? Sounds like it should be free for you, Mister: http://www.ssware.com/bloggers.htm

I thought writing extensions in managed code was a bad thing (http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2005/11/18/494572.aspx). I wonder how this works?

LOL.. Nice, I didn't see that. But now that you've pointed it out... ;)

And yeah, I've heard the same thing, that using managed .Net for Extensions was "officially bad".

If/when I get a copy I'll give it a close look and let you know if I find anything relevant...

Thanks again for the tip on the offer.
