	I think so. Can you give an example? (Also, I'm not sure I was able to
parse your last sentence correctly. :)  What test scenario do you
recommend I use?

	Well, for the last few months I've thought that it'd be better to spend
my time banging on the module system, so that I'd could release Flow as
a module which could be simply loaded and unloaded. It seemed like until
that was done, Flow wouldn't get used much (currently unloading it is
difficult). Given that, all the tedious effort involved in integrating
Flow with the ever-changing current image via changesets didn't seem
worthwhile. The problem is that I can't make a good estimate of when the
module work I'm doing will be far enough along.

	I've already changed Flow to use the official exceptions (quite some
time ago now). I guess I'll switch to making "one last release" the old
way, with serial support. I think the modularity prerequisite is
important, but not worth any more release delay.

	So, I'll get back onto my normal schedule of first-friday releases, and
say Friday 5 July.


	thanks,
