Re: [Babeldoc-devel] Question regarding FTP scanner

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

Thanks, Dejan.  I downloaded and tested the latest snapshot directly using the 
ftp example, and it worked like a charm.  Since I'm now on a tight deadline, 
I need to decide whether it will be easier to integrate the newest version 
back into Babeldoc, or just run it externally for my needs...

Life is ALWAYS interesting at crunch time!
