	Well, I am at the point now where I am *not* adding any new
code, (well, at least not any new *features*)  I agree with you completely
that most people are happy just slapping new coats of paint (features) onto
and old house (GB).  I personally would *much* rather be doing new development
then renovation.  Where I used to work, we would have to draw straws to see
who would renovate old code, and who would get to do new development.

	I am at the point now where GB has been around long enough that I see
no-one wants to renovate, so I kinda started doing it myself.

	Well, I am working with the 5.2 code.   And it is not like there
is a patch or new release of GB every week.  Jeeze...

shut, dear ninza!, Vee have our wayz!" 


	Sigh... (I dont t hink the newsgroup has seen so much traffic in
quite some time!
