Hi all,Oops apologies for the last message, a little harsh. Its a difficult
learning curve. And a tad frustrating that i cant yet figure it out.
So for now, it'll just have to wait, as were all doing the work we can on
our free time. So i should be rushing Steve's great work.
It's best that i keep working on the CanVec data (that i know), and do as
suggested and upload only those features that don't have conflicts, and work
with that. (and fix those
bugs that i can)
So again, apologies for the message earlier.
Cheers,
Sam Vekemans
