   Hello Scott!

   1.  Well in the Mbse Changelog specified by original source version as well as    
   your updated ver. no. What functional changes made to what programs or    
   modules.   
      
   2.  In the source code inline comments showing your changes with fault    
   fixed/new functionality added etc   
      
   3.  Modules Changelog if present added comments with more details similar to    
   2.   
      
   4.  What system testing you did to verify your mods and to verify your changes    
   has NOT affected anything else where ever possible. Yes I know this one is a    
   bit more involved but can be shown by running modified version over a period.

   Yes, along with Andrew (so far), trying to fix the odd bug and add more    
   functionality where essentual.   
      
   I hold the current version in source as at (0.95.10) where the last digit    
   shows build number within version. I must load up subversion for external    
   linking as soon as I figure out how to do so.   
      
   At the momemt I have one bug that I cannot trace with mbdiff rejecting   
   nodediffs as failing the CRC checks, can't see why its code as no changes have    
   been made but all the same most puzzling.
