Hi David,
Since you have an Alpha machine to work and and test with, why don't you
coordinate the effort to get the various patches merged into the 2.1.xx stream?
I've seen postings here from a number of Alpha users, so there is an active user
base to support. Seems like it just needs a push to get things done ..
Regards,
Bill
