not yet committed, unfortunately; I had hoped for feedback from a person
knowledgeable with WinCE, but that didn't happen.  Oh well.

Since my Great Plan for automated testing is read to be deployed this
weekend, I think I'll have another go at testing the proposed patches;
they change commands on a lot of different systems, and I want to make
sure they work before committing under the 72hour rule as Gary suggested
before.

So, unless problems show up, they should hopefully appear in 2.2.12,
due fairly soon.

Thanks for mentioning that, I will test the patches on this package
then.

Cheers,
