RE: Me :)

[Matthew Denson <mdenson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your responses.

Yes I am still interested in being able to use 
zigzag on win32.  If it isn't too much trouble 
please do send a link to a patch.  I'll start 
looking again since I now know that it exists,
somewhere.

All the best,
Matthew Denson
