Yes.
I've been in touch with Kevin and everythings postponed for next week.
 
In my specific need the work flow will have to be modified a bit but
Kevin also  has updated the code too to what is out there.

Need a shell account for this. I have my own one but this could become a
busy project in two years time and do not want to shift it around.

Well, I do not want to speak too soon (as the task ahead for me is huge)
but Kartouche should be helpful and I came across it through the AFFSAC.

So 'networking' helps.

I remember a whole load of wants but can't think of any now in an
organised fashion.
