Hi Joel,

Thanks, that must explain what I've been seeing.

I did a bit of hacking on the Custom.pm.  It was pretty simple to add a new
parameter MUSTMSG.  In the must answer processing, I test if MUSTMSG exists and
if it does, I supply it instead of the generic error.   It was only a couple of
lines to change.  It all seems to work, but I may have missed something.  
Would something like this be in line with your plans for mod_survey?

mod_survey # diff /usr/lib/mod_survey/Survey/Component/Custom.pm ~gac/Custom.pm

Note that the CUSTOM tag does not seem to be fully defined in the dtd file -
survey-v3.0.0.dtd.  However, I don't know much about what is required for a
dtd, so is it significant that the CUSTOM tags are not defined there?

Thanks,
George
