Also, working with you last night on the irc was very pleasant as well. The changes are already reflected at the web site. It was a very good experience to compile it with an old distribution. I almost hate to see you clean it up right away even. Raphael Quintets changes are there also. It should be clear to everyone though, that Rebecca Walter is the author. I beat it up and am coordinating a continual beating until the darn thing is in shape. I have a zsh user who owes me a favor, I am sending it off to him next. If no one else has changes in mind for it, or additions I will send it last to Branko Collins and totally last to Rebecca J. Walter and Totally Last to myself.

Do it quickly, I need to be done with it! And thank you for working with a nasty html file also. Things should get better soon.

LISTEN to popping rate and do not leave microwave unattended. Over-cooking may cause scorching. Normal popping time is 2-5 minutes.
