I am _definitely_ working on it. That "probably" must have slipped in there during one of my frequent beer-caused hallucinations. >>If it wasn't for my exams, projects and reports that are due soon, I could have >>added more or less the same evaluation to version 1.0 as is in version 0.88, >>without too much hassle.
