I tried to commit it to SVN, but SF's servers were giving me some talk about permissions... Sigh. So, I sent the patch file to John, who'll hopefully commit it if he approves. To paraphrase Robert Kern, "Working code ends all arguments". So, since this was the nested way, and the biggest reason against it was that it require code change, well, I changed the code, and perhaps the arguments are ended? Because I did change a fair amount of data_path -using code, it'd be good to exercise all your favorite font and image finding sections of code. The bits I tried worked for me, of course, but no guarantees... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
