Just wanted to say thanks for answering my questions, helping with testing and coding of my export code, the bufdataset patch and, Marco, closing a lot of patches (yes, I noticed, too). It has really helped improve my knowledge and I think improved the XML export code as well, which is almost (warning: developer's estimate!) ready for testing and then submission as a new patch for FPC. I noticed the ODBC transaction patches too and it seems a shame. However, it does take experienced people with an overview of the code to review & commit patches, so I can understand these things do happen - nobody is getting paid to work on FPC I suppose.
