The previous email was from Dan, and perhaps he missed some of your emails.

You say you rewrote all the code, so if you send me your code with your name 
on it with an LGPL copyright, I can put it into Bacula.  The only other issue 
is as I told you, before I can take the chance that it would invalidate 
everyones old Volumes (a catastrophy) I would need some test programs.  I 
would prefer that you do that (please).  Otherwise I will do it when I can 
find a few minutes ...
