I'm aiming to write a smallish example of using KBUS for something not
entirely boring, and that will hopefully work as a starting point for
comparisons. Unfortunately (for this purpose, anyway), the next couple
of weekends (including four days of public holiday!) are taken up with
other things, so it will be a little while.

That will probably be an appropriate thing to CC Andrew Morton.

Comparative examples of how to do something similar with other means may
take longer, of course.

Thanks,
Tibs
