Oh, that's the best news I think everyone would have liked to hear :) If you consider that then last message of Orlandi in the list is of SIX months ago, if I'm not wrong (13/06/2006), you can easely understand our feelings. If he will take just some minutes a week to keep us updated or with some alpha/beta code to test, it will be very good for us and for visdn. Thanks a lot to you, Orlandi and Voismart, with the hope to hear further news soon and on a regular basis.
