you've been using it for years, it has gone through 186 alpha versions and before that just over 100 pre versions. You never had a problem with it. Neither has anyone else really. So what are you worried about again? Just pretend that "alpha" isn't in the name and it isn't masked - effectively that is actual status - last I heard from Zac there is one or two odd edge cases that still aren't 100% right, but few people ever run into them. You are highly unlikely to be one of those few people. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
