    It sounds to me like you need to talk to Steve Harris about this or
modify the code to do what you think it should do.  In that case we
could do some side by side comparisons.  What I'd like to do with JAMin
is completely rewrite the GUI using Qt and C++.  As soon as I get my son
through college, get retired, and get done with the thousand other
things that I need to do around here I might consider that ;-)
