Wasn't sure where the line in the sand was for "adding features" vs "fixing bugs." Thanks, Darren

The only *fixed* date is march 1st...certain developers have a little leeway as far as the beta release is concerned...leeway tending to depend on how quickly bugs they generate get fixed...anyway, fixed sized block sizes are a bug, aren't they? *grin*

Never...some ppl have shown over time a...dedication towards fixing any bugs they introduce in a *very* timely manner *grin* A little leeway, as appropriate, tends to reap large rewards for all parties...specially if we can help improve disk space usage by providing the ability to tailor disk block size used :) Marc G.
