Hi,

I saw Joerg's later message on the mailing list about moving the USB ID 
in the CVS version. I tried the CVS version (latest snapshot) with the 
USB id moved. It worked PERFECTLY. Thanks for the quick responses, I 
find  that open source has better tech support than proprietary software 
:>. Keep up the great work Joerg.

                   Thanks,
                             Al
