Hello Gerard,
I hope that if the others here want to move with it they do so as
I agree with you that Adem has a certain degree of urgency on this rather big
change he has recently made which is undergoing and needs valuable input to
complete its direction in a timely manner.
Your comments below (and Nanogroup mails I read) show the urgency of this:

I would humbly suggest that if the Nano/DZip group transpires (hopefully) that
we (Gerard, Eric, James, Roger, Adem, [I am happy to help]) suggest the various
methodologies we could adopt to complete the common goal and have an general
questionaire to put to the groups as a whole.
That way everybody can express their point of view and providing the group is
cohesive enough, the final goal will be reached with a co-ordinated,
professional result rather than with disjointed, semi-cooperation.

Agreed. Now I have got to do some work ;-) I remain available to help in any way
should I be needed. Programatically I am just returning to Delphi so would be
better serving helping you Eric or whatever.
