[Gert D. <ger...@pa...>]

Adam,

I'm at work right now, so I don't have time to work through your questions
right now, but we'll definitely look into them later ...

I've copied your message to the NAnt Developer mailing list
(nan...@li...), which is the mailing list I'd
suggest you to subscribe to.

Regards,

Gert
