Hi, Chris, thanks for getting back in touch. As you probably
realised, I never use Windows myself (nor does anyone else at Index
Data, at least not for development) so the Windows support for our
software does tend to get neglected. I appreciate your offer to
provide patches: yes, please do -- I'll make sure they're in the next
release, and that you're credited in the Changes file. When you send
them, please include a note explicitly stating that you are
tranferring copyright to Index Data.
Thanks!
