Fair enough :)

I'm afraid I don't even have time to properly contribute to the main project
I help out on just now :(  - also on sourceforge. But I hope to use LXR for
something at work, so it may well get tested.

No problem, I just hit reply assuming it would do this. It was only after
I'd
sent the message that I noticed that it didn't. I think I've seen this
happen
before. I think there's an option on sourceforge to allow you to set things
up
so that replying to a message from the list will, by default, go to the
list.

Cheers,

Neil.

P.S.    I like your domain name, do you live in Newcastle by any chance?
