Hi,

As John Klos already wrote, he's given me an account to start 
working with this on.   Is there some short deadline here?  I'm
about to start 3 weeks of vacation at the end of the week, and,
as per usual, we're going to do a software release at work
just before I go.  Ergo my free time is rapidly evaporating.

So I will get to it, just probably not before the end of the month.

Thanks to John for the accounts, and to Joshua for the offers
of an account.  These will help.

Thanks!

cheers
