Well, now that school is back in session I haven't had a lot of time
to look at this.  I was really hoping to make time but it just
hasn't happened.  I finish my degree in December, but until then it
doesn't look like I will have a lot of time to look at this.  I
still want to contribute what I can, but I don't want to hold things
up.  So please don't not make changes on my account.  Sorry.

Thanks,
