"I'm releasing 2.0a29 to keep you busy :^)"

Whew... thank goodness. I was wondering what I was gonna do with all this 
free time I have.  :D

****

Seriously, great job Paul... it's really coming together.

Do you think the new compiler is going to fix a lot of the "small" issues 
like the crashing object list dialog, etc.?

  Folks,

  Sorry about the long delay twixt releases. I've been rewiring the Plan
  Creation Wizard, virtually from scratch, and it's taking some effort
  to make it work right. You won't see it in this release. However, when
  you start the first time, you'll see a "throbbing" "PW" (Plan Wizard)
  icon as a background thread hunts through your existing catalogues
  constructing a database. This will stop after a few minutes (time
  depending on how many catalogues you have installed, and how fast your
  computer and hard disk are). You can pretty much ignore it and
  continue with other stuff.

  I'm releasing 2.0a29 to keep you busy :^)

  Paul R.
