My feeling is that NEWCARD is the way to go and offers many improvements, the only downside to it being that a few features are *currently* broken. This being -CURRENT, and with your track record for fast development, I think your plan is the best way to get NEWCARD at the 99% working level, and then deprecate OLDCARD. > Warner > Bye (and thanks for your great work!)
