Yeah Axel, I noted in a later email that i should have scrolled further down the page. Nothing like a noob mistake to end a Monday. I am not really familiar with CVS or compiling which is why I was asking those questions about which version. My bad. I think i will be able to compile the current version with the MCE receiver fix (I hope). If not, then I get to format my frontend....again! Again, sorry for the mixup.
