Hello! Julian, you're too fast, you fix the bugs before I even realize there was a bug. ;)
Anyhow, Peter, thanks for the update. Since I'm unaware of what's happening I did appreciate your update. I didn't want to scare you or say "stupid idea", it's only my English. You gave a summary that was perfect. Since Julian hesitates I think gerbv could wait and see you sort out all kinks and see what direction PCB and geda takes. It is no use changing bug report system for the sake of changing. Hope this is OK with you. But I really appreciate your offer for help and chiming in keeping me (the ignorant bastard) and the others in the loop. We may very well take you up on your offer. Back to packing, going to Austin, Texas for a week at 4 AM tomorrow. But keep discussing this, I don't have the last word.
