I submitted it for review 15 months ago. Since then I've been working to ap=
ply=20
the suggestions, clean things up more and finish the last few bits of missi=
ng=20
functionality. Contrary to what Sebas implied earlier, I'm not paid to work=
=20
on Suspend2 on a full time basis. I work on it up to 20% of work hours=20
(thanks, Cyclades), and the remainder of the work is done in my own time.=20
This often means that things move more slowly than I'd like, but my wife wi=
ll=20
happily testify that I still spend too much time on it :)

Regards,

Nigel
