Hi Vic, sorry about any overcomplication, I just wanted to give all the information in one email. Please go to http://liblouis.mesarhameed.info and have a look around. If you want to add a bug, click on bugs in the sidebar, and there should be a text field called "add new bug titled:" You will have to login using google or one of the other providers, or create a new account, once that is done you can edit the text and submit it. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. thanks, Mesar On Thu 17/10/13,08:37, Vic Beckley wrote: > Mesar, > > You are making me feel stupid here.
