Yes...Neil, can you put a "patches page" up on the WWW site,
linked to the main page, that lists the patches as well as a short
description of what each one does?
Bruce, can you get me a patch for this? I'm going to review the
patches that I do have now, and the ones that look perfectly safe (ie. I
have no doubt about), will get included on the CD rom also...not as part
of the source, just as a seperate file to be used...
