Re: [DataVision-users] Bugs and feature requests and help

Just a thought on this to hopefully make life easier.  It seems to me 
some sort of structure needs to be setup.  Structure for what you want 
the code changes/comments to look like and also at least a basic 
structure for sending you the test cases.  The less you have to 
interpret the easier it should be for you to apply the patches, test the 
changes, and then hopefully the faster a new version can be rolled out.
