Hello Conrad :)

Hmmm ... which part did I miss? I worked closely with Stanislav to get this
stuff properly implemented, but maybe I forgot something?

Cool!

 cjk> JoHo seems to work on the same thing, but I'm not so sure whether
 cjk> or not this means FD is in development again.

Actually, it does mean that. There's a lot of stuff to port, before I can
begin adding features. But that time will come.

Have you tried Janis Kracht's system(s)? Or Mark Lewis?

Have you tried other FOSSILs?
