Thanks for clearing that up, EE.
I've attached the latest version of qtp-whatami, which will also be included
in the next QT-plus release. It uses the fdr60 parameter for FC7,8 systems,
so they might work better. Users should understand that this is the best we
can do with the 1.3 branch, and FC7+ will not be supported until 1.4 is
released.
Thanks again to EE for all his work on this.
