Thanks for getting back to me Adrian, it was not clear to me in the meeting notes what was going on. If possible I would like to see this ISO geometry work continue; although I confess to make serious progress I need to scare up a source of funding. Until then volunteers (such as yourself) are my best hope to see continued action.
