Yes, I'm buzy, and no, I'm not against helping people to know ASPseek
internals better. But that code was not written by me, and there are no any
docs, so I can't help you more than the reading of source code can help.

So, read the code, cvs changelogs, think, and eventually you will be
enlightened.

Stuckness  shouldn't be avoided.  It's the psychic  predecessor of all
real understanding.  An egoless acceptance of stuckness is a key to an
understanding of all Quality, in mechanical work as in other endeavors.
