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,
