Good news.

I wasn't really expecting answers there to the other questions of mine 
you saw in the devel list, but these dev issues made me think about the 
current state of documentation since we were stuck by Borland (Inprise 
at that time) not playing fair game and holding up the manuals (just 
releasing code without user manuals). I wanted to see if anything about 
the API interface had already been rewritten. I guess not. That's a big 
work.

Well, I'd rather prefer to wait for the build process to get fixed in 
CVS and get the thing by building it up. Though, thank you very much for 
this email offer Paul.
