Well, it's done in your experimental Webware rewrite. But it's not done in the sense that you've produced a patch that can be applied to Webware CVS and tested independently of all of the other changes in expwebware. If you can do that, then we're much, much closer to actually merging it into Webware. Same with all the other changes in expwebware. - Geoff _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
