Yes, of course, but not in this next release. Sorry. I'm guessing that hearing
this is a double edge sword for you, because in the past, you've taken most
every LPub source code update (hint: www.sourceforge.net) and test driven it for
me. I hope you are not too busy this Christas season though. The last time I
tried to putback source code, it failed. I get tired of sourceforge changing
procedures all the time (like maybe every couple of years, I'm sure you
understand) so I decided to ignore the issue (in hindsight maybe since the
release of the broken 4.0.0.1 LPub). Anyway, if I'm going to release these
changes (like that won't happen), I will have to update sourceforge.
I'll drop a note here when it is updated so you don't have to poll. Presuming
of course that you would be willing to risk "unreleased" software. ;^)
If you would be so kind as to test it for me, I would be grateful. Maybe you
could even provide a beta version to all your Mac friends to test.
Merry Christmas and thanks for all your help.
