To Chris, John and Sami... that is great news! I was really hoping it |
| 18 |
wouldn't be too difficult *and* someone else would see the value in this |
| 19 |
capability. I had read some about Catalyst, but hadn't considered it as |
| 20 |
the tool - but it sounds perfect! |

I am in no big hurry, so am willing to wait, as long as I know it is |
| 23 |
being worked on... also, I am *more* than happy to donate to show my |
| 24 |
appreciation (I was willing to try to find someone to pay to code it up |
| 25 |
myself anyway) - so, where do I send the funds? :) |

Many thanks |
