-resolution of this issue. Adrian: It is certainly good to see this issue being addressed with vigour. I feel that Uli's draft says the right kind of things and I agree with using it so long as it will stand up in court. It seems to sum up what has been said on the list quite nicely. Paul

Place any old number between 1 and 5 into column 0. but column 0 is for A, not a temp variable. I got the impression that the problem is that do has to create temp variables and they get overwritten (or something along those lines). Why not then specify a range of variable numbers that can

if the entire interface is written in FreeScript, just change home stacks. I'd like to see buttons be able to change design and appearance as well though. I'll try and formulate these ideas more later, I'm incapable of thinking straight just now. - -- M. Uli Kusterer Adrian Sutton. Paul

(which is suggested by the above) is that we can vote to make certain issues not require a unanimous vote but every partner would have to agree to that change. (I'm not suggesting that we should change anything of course, lets see how things work with unanimity first). Paul Sutton

Hi all, I think I just found the solution to that encryption problem that delayed the release of the voting CGI for so long. We could easily use the password protection provided by the web server software to limit access. Duh! Remember that for next time, it is a much neater solution than
