I figured you must have accidentally replied off list, but I didn't know to what you were referring. It does feel good to solve a mystery, but it may be too little too late unless someone steps forward and volunteers to become the upstream maintainer. I'm *willing* to become the upstream maintainer, but I'm just not qualified. I have to face facts. And by the time I am qualified, it will probably be too late. I sure wish I knew what happened to John Coffman. -- .''`. Stephen Powell : :' : `. `'` `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
