    MF>> What version of fpc is it?   
      
    SD> It's 3.2.0 (I think?).  It's the latest version, whatever it is.   
      
   Yes, the latest version is 3.2.0 but we're still using 3.0.4, so I'll     
   contact the developer with a view to upgrading to 3.2.0

   The source *is* open source, so please feel free to give it a try :)   
      
   Any/all feedback would be appreciated.

   Thought you might but I had to mention it if only to save you the bother     
   of hunting it down.   
      
    MF>> As soon as the developer gets back to me I'll post his comments.   
      
    SD> Sure thing.  If he'd like to contact me directly, my BBS email is

   OK, I'll pass your email address on to the developer(Gunter Sandner).   
      
    SD> I am just trying to make more stuff available for more people. :)   
      
   Excellent attitude, bravo! :)
