[Orca-users] Re: trying to create my own orcallator...

[Blair Zajac]

Steve,

The uptime field is not required.  Put in as much or as little
information as possible.

Have you completed an orcallator for Linux?  Could you send it to
the orca-users mailing list, I know I and other people would find it
useful.

Regards,
Blair
