So now we areback to square one. Steveand Fulvio are scid admins but no merge will be performed.Because this squabblehas failed to resolve what should have been an important milestone for the project, I think, for the most part, scid will continue to lagway behind scidvspc in terms of usability

I believe the idea of merging scidvspc into scid is an excellent idea. I'm surprised that Fulvio does not appreciate the logic behind Steve's move. In the end it is plain to see that this benefits *everyone*. Scid today works fine. But after comparing it with scidvsp
