Hi Leon,

I'll send those graphics through when I get a chance.

As for FreeTime; I need to get on and in fact have already begun "FT2'ing"
it...If you don't mind me picking your brain in times of need I'd be happy
to pass on any work. One immediate problem I've found is that the login page
won't pass the login variables in IE5 on the Mac (not an issue after
FT2'ing). Also the UpdateDivisions Javascript in create_project does update
the division select field but the $division variable is apparently not
passed and therefore the project is NOT created.

Any particular "quirks" I should look out for?

Also on another matter entirely I've noted the previous conversations
concerning the lack of use of classes in Freeenergy architecture. I have to
say I've found it to be a plus, as in many respects the individual functions
remain modular within a modular/class-like included file set-up. I've
particularly noticed the benefits of this when integrating other work into
the architecture.

Thanks,

Nick
