Chris,

Since the beginning of this fiasco, I saved several GUI updates including
12/6/2004, 12/27/2004.  Since they were available for public download, I would
imagine they can be freely sent.  After all, we are beta testing for Cheesebase
to see what works!

The latest one is dated 1/11/2005 but is the same size as the one of 12/6/2004.
I'm afraid to try it............... :(.  If you want one, post here and I'll
send it to you. DHM
