Thank you, Hans.<br><br>I think that sounds reasonable. The hard drive from the big computer I was working with just died,<br>so I am having this transition time to deal with anyways. Soon enough I'll come up with the patches. If there is any bug specifically you'd like to see fixed, let me know and maybe I can give a shot at it.<br>
