Jeza: The shared memory interface already allows access to userfile data for both reading and updating so you can add/delip and look/change a user's stats, rename/add/delete users, and access client (who) data so of the list the only things not available are section name information and vfs/free data which is why I'm trying to solve those
I agree that a dll would be REALLY cool if it had a TCL wrapping so it could be loaded into windrops or standalone TCL scripts outside of the server... I'll have to think on that one because that does sound good. The only drawback would be you would have to host the windrop on the same machine, whereas a pure site based script solution wouldn't. It's also easier to get more specific error information from the site scripts because I don't think the shared memory interface offers much beyond success/fail indication which is usually sufficient but not always.
