I changed my email to cas...@ea.... I don't know if you
needed to know this for people with sandbox privelege. Sourceforge
bonces my email from my main address. It is a problem with my postfix
setup, which I am working on.

I'm really getting the knack of cvs. I can't believe how bad I screwed
things up! A developer with my priveleges never should have used
"import". It should have been checkout!
