Martinez <guillermo.e.martinez at oracle dot com> --- (In reply to Nick Clifton from comment #8) Hello Nick, > Sorry - I do not think that this is going to happen. > OK.

OK, good. Thanks, and sorry for my misunderstanding. guillermo -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
