Hello,

I was hoping you would put this in your letter's to editor section:

I would like to announce the beginning of an Open Source Legal Software
project.

Tentatively entitled VirtuaLaw, this project will be the first Open
Source Legal Case
Management System.  This project will be both open source and free.  The
Linux client 
and server will almost certainly be GPLed.  The windows client will
probably need an 
alternative license.

The main thrust of the project for now will be to port the windows code
that I have 
working now over to Linux.  The code that I have now is 90% MS Access
and 10%
Visual Basic.  Hopefully, I can find a reasonably high-level ODBC
library.

If you would like to participate or use VirtuaLaw please contact me at:

virtualaw@flesherfab.com

I have some pages up with some screen shots and explanation of the
capabilities
of this software at:

Thanks,

Bryan
