Yes. JLM has been known to me for most of the 20 years I've been using it, and likely knows more about its innards than anyone else. We know you, Stefan, but not for as long as JLM. As for what it needs? A planner that actually does what its said to do is one of the higher priorities. An estimator thats trustworthy so we aren't forced to use the swag's we are using now would also be nice. With a 7 day cycle, it acts like a 2 day cycle, promoting stuff from 6 days head several times in that 7 days. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
