OK, well, thanks. However, I find that C++ is more widely used and would be more worthwhile. However, a "world of hurt" sounds like a good problem to solve!

I would suggest learning more about C++ if you feel you have a little knowledge about that. It may lead you into LabView.
Yep, that's what I'm thinking.
