<heh> Every morning I kept walking into my home office thinking "this is nuts, you will never catch up on all of these messages..." Two weeks later I was feeling like I had really accomplished something... Exactly what I can't say, I'm still a little too stupified by the whole thing. <heheheh> > status: the Intro and Tutorial should be more or less 1.2 ready.

Features are still coming/going/changing, even though it's Okay - This sounds like a good place for me to jump in, actually... I will look at the Intro and Tutorial, see if I can find anything else that _needs_ to be corrected, then jump into the UG. I know what you mean about the code freeze, but I think it was more of a features freeze -- no new functionality. If I've seen correctly, the major changes that are rippling through are dialog changes. Those are needed, although it does mean some additional work for us as we'll have to update them in the manuals. I guess the next challenge for me is to try and get a cvs version and try to install it. That'll be a real trick as I haven't worked with a cvs system before...:) // George
