That is saaaweet! The anal retentive filer in me has been waiting for this to happen.<br>

Hey, have you been spying on my wish list? ;) It's great that this stuff is getting done. This project gets more viable everyday. Thanks so much folks! I truly have seen better results from Koha than commercial products.<br>
