The following is only a part of the information included in the rentacoder 
online bid request. See that Bid Request for more information. 
Note: Though much of the contents of this archive is HTML compatible, it is 
using the <pre>...</pre> HTML tags and therefor also readable as plain text 
files. The "index.html" file is perhaps the biggest exception to this but uses
html to present a useful table somewhat representative of the PK-file structure.
It is the file to start with, after this one.  

Description: (2500 chars. max - 31 lines)                                                            
------------------------------
Virtual Interaction Configuration

In short: (Perhaps best described as) 
A command shell with a specific but unique command set.

This project is to be coded in Python with Python version 2.0 compatibility.
The project contains a lot of repetitive functionality and some deviation in 
this repetitiveness, as well as some non-repetitive functionality. 

This Bid Request is only for a part of the project, specifically for the 
Commands: AI, PK, SF and OI. 

Detailed Current specifications on these FOUR Commands is contained in the 
attached file archive. There is also non-current/non-complete information on the
other commands, some additional information and even a stand alone version of 
one of these other commands, but this intended for reference and overall general
project understanding only (so to help AVOID coding into a corner that prevents
or complicates additional work being done on the project, using the code.)

Because the project/code is to be released under the GPL, it need be coded and 
commented in a manner supportive of such. In other words, the code should be 
created/designed, written and commented in a manner that allows others to 
reasonably follow and even modify the code.   


Deliverables: (4000 chars. max - 50 lines)
-------------------------------

In addition to the rentacoder default values for this field: 

Working and reasonably well commented Python source code of the four commands 
specified and described in the attached archive. And any information relative 
to, considered to be important, in using/running the code, and/or modifying it. 


Platform: (1000 chars. max - 12 lines)
---------------------------
Python 2.0 compatible. Project target to be platform HW/OS independent as far 
as can reasonably be expected in using the Python programming language.


Special Conditions: (1000 chars. max - 12 lines)
--------------------------
Because the product is to be released under the GPL, no code should be 
constrained in any way that causes a conflict with this release goal.
Also I believe in giving credit where credit belongs, so programmer 
needs to be willing to be recognized for the coding they do.
