Hi Everyone,
I wanted to let you know that I WILL finish this today, and send out
the result as well as upload it to the SC Document Repository.
However, I obviously ran into a lot more work than I was reckoning
on, so I am not doing two versions. I am only doing the version with
ALL the suggested changes. So if we decide against it, it will be
more work to undo it, though not nearly as much as making the changes
has been.
Cheers,
Rex
