this is call feature creep. it is deadly!!! let him finish what he was
working on and then we go from there. it would make more sense if NCX
was completed and did exactly what it implies and any other feature be
built into a separate 'plugin'?? program.

I'm not trying to pick on anyone here but just used your post to clarify
the one item guaranteed to kill most any software project. modifying the
software before it's complete.

as for me I found the program to be so inherently clean that I forgot
that sync doesn't work and hit the button anyway ;-)

Simon, do you accept paypal or would something in a snailmail package be
better?
