I have still given the code to anyone who asked for it (via email). I can give you the current code which I believe is quite stable. I will attach it. Perhaps you can treat it as a snapshot release. Ignore the debian directory, it was my attempt. Dave ========>8============ So it doesn't seem like there is any _real_ issue, he's probably being (overly) cautious. What do you think?
