Sounds like a plan.  I've posted on the Aus guide mailing list asking  
for testers.

okie.

Here is my log if that helps:

I understand.  Myth is a hobby for me too.  I'm happy to shepherd the  
patch
and arrange testing, etc.  I didn't know testing was the delay though  
- there was just silence.  Hence what was meant to be a polite nudge :)

:) it's all right.  I wasn't trying to complain, and my knickers are  
untwisted - I was just making sure the patch hadn't been forgotten.

*crickets*

:)

Hopefully I'll get some responses on the Aus mailing list.  I'll let  
you know how that testing goes.

Be well,

Will          :-}
