Thanks Thomas.
There has been a lot of traffic talking about major changes to
LFS/CLFS/HLFS and I was waiting for the dust to settle before I went
back at jhalfs. I get the impression jhalfs could be relegated to the
dust bin if all the proposed changes are implemented. If there is still
some use for the code I will support the new books.
George.
