Externals - getting someone to write one

Does anyone know of anything like rentacoder for Revolution?

Im happy in Revolution itself, but it would be good if there was a list of programmers we could contact who may be able to write externals.

At this time i need a few drive/volume routines, one to get a drive size and info, an external that can scan a drive/volume looking for a specified string, returning the position of the string, and a second that could grab the data between two positions on a volume.

Im sure in C this is quite simple to do but its impossible in Revolution, so it would be good if there was a list of C programmers familiar with the externals of Revolution we could contact to get a quote etc.

Count me in for wanting such a list. It should be in a very prominent place on the motherships website.

All the best,

Even though this is a useful link it is not geared to externals. So either the consultants do not specially mention their ability to write them, or they simply don't.

All the best,
