Sounds cool - I'm interested in looking at this.

Can't test here either

Can't test this either, so I'll take your word for it.

Might be useful.

I'll check this out and see what I can fix up.

Good.

I'd lost track of whether it worked or not - I'll add it back.
I would have figured it out sooner or later - I have a lot of 
msgs queued to take action on, but am just getting to them.

Great, as I can't test a lot of this.

Thank you (grovel) - I really appreciate it, especially as 
quickly as you turned it around.

Odd - must be in the rpms I downloaded ?? Don't remember where I 
got them - usually kde.uk is fairly fast for me.

I'll put together a project file with some blanks for you to fill 
in (output directory, source directory, etc) It's pretty easy to 
setup if you wrote it, but not otherwise. Is mail OK (about 
100-200K tarball)? I've wanted to do kabc for a while, but 
haven't gotten to it so this is perfect.

I'll try to match your response time - it's only fair.
