Oh, and for a "major release" I would consider that we've been talking (for as long as I've been using xastir) about a major rewrite (with different toolkit, possibly in C++) called Xastir 2 --- that would qualify as a major release in my book. I'd prefer to consider all incremental perturbations on what we have now as minor releases. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
