Hi Sven,

Great, then I have to get going and put the code in the subversion
repository. I will take care of that tonight and send the details to you
(I'm still at work now). Also, I should clean up the code a bit so I
won't have to be embarrased when you see it ;-)
At the moment I am using netbeans 6.1 as that is what is in synaptic, I
will upgrade before I upload.
