you should probably send the mail again with the
discuss-gnustep@gnu.org mailing list in Cc: ... I expect
quite a few people on the mailing list should be able to look at the code and respond ;-)
That way you may get a faster response ... I'm too busy with things at work today to look at the code. I may
manage tomorrow. But if you send to the list, chances are someone else may have time *right now* :-)
Thanks
