I've reset the Reply-To, etc. to that list. Please follow-up there as you see fit. Also, right now, there is no X maintainer so if you're looking for updates, you'll need to find a volunteer or create the update yourself. If you do the latter, perhaps you would consider becoming the maintainer? :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
