I understand it completely. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into packaging.

I just did not want gerris to be abandoned. I wanted to take over it only if you were MIA. Now that you are back into action, I do not want to take over. However, I would like to help in whatever way I can. We can definitely use your experience in packaging this software. thanks raju -- http://kamaraju.googlepages.com/cornell-bazaar http://groups.google.com/group/cornell-bazaar/about -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
