Well, I should start out by saying that I am a novice programmer,
although I have been working with computers since 1984 and have
been a software tester for about eight years.  I have been active
in doing Linux and XFree86 testing for about two years.

That said, I have time available to sort through compilation
errors and fix them.  If you can give me pointers to any background
info I might need and some fairly methodical directions and guidance
about how you do your ASNI-fication process, I'll gladly pitch in.
This includes making sure I haven't broken the program interfaces.

Probably the thing I need the best description of is how you
determine whether or not an interface has been broken.

A few specific examples of code (before and after the ANSI migration)
showing what works and what doesn't would be really helpful.

Lastly, if you have any areas you'd like me to start working in,
please let me know.  I'll run my first few patches by you and
you can double-check my work.  Once you've verified that I am making
appropriate changes and not breaking things, I can forge ahead and
see what I can accomplish.

Thanks very much for your help!

That's our goal, but we're some way from that yet.
