[Peter Haworth]

Sorry for the froward on this.  My first attempt was rejected becuae the
email was over 15kb.  Does anyone other than me think that's so 20th
century!

Yep, I understand that, but the same principal applies to RunRev's
evaluation of whether to provide this or not.  I think you'd be surprised
at how many LC devs would put stuff into the APple store it they weren't
stopped dead in their tracks by this and a couple of other issues that just
aren't possible directly in LC.
