I am now in the process of changing my old st-file distributions to SAR
based ones. Actually SIXX and SoapOpera have already been repackaged.
So they are easily installable by PackageLoader (really great!).

For Dandelion, I am planning to make SAR in the next week. Because 
I'm now hooked up in other project. (NetMorph).

Oh...This is also a classical code. I saw such kind of code in some VW
goodies. But I was too lazy to write such kind of cool things.

Thanks again,
