But there you won't get any help from me ;)

Will download today and either translate all there is over the weekend
or beginning of next week.

Again, nothing from me.

Already mailed Paul that I want to test, didn't have any time so far
this week. Will start a.s.a.p.

A 2100 will come your way, please send your address of list.
(and specify if you want rechargeable pack or a battery holder)
Now I'm praying that this doesn't mean I'll loose my main Newt, since I
lost 2 on average a year until I bought this back-up model ;-)

Sorry, again no ;-)

I love you all, I really do!
Seriously, until now Escale didn't do much for me so apart from some
testing and bug reporting at the start I was mostly waiting fro an
announcement from you guys about the state of the project, which is
also why I mailed with Paul after the '[ANN] Towards DCL 1.1' post.
For the people that have reacted so far commenting that they only have
Windows, Nicolas listed quite a few options, donation being one of them
and open for people of all platforms of course...
BTW, I found in the past your bug database quite hard to understand,
would it be possible to 'just' send the bugs to you and paul by email?
