Im a researcher at Salford uni, UK using mobile devices to allow the public to carry out noise surveys.
Im hoping to recruit thousands of people to install our app on their j2me mobile or WM PDA, which allows them to record the sound around them and comment on it using some simple scales.
The projects in its pilot at the mo so im trialling the software and methodology with some hard core beta testing.
Im really hoping you guys might be keen to test the WM app out and give me some feedback on how it works and how it could be improved.
Ive attached the cab file and source for your testing pleasure! The code is quite scatty but should be pretty readable.
As a side issue im also looking for some feedback on our project site @ http://www.soundaroundyou.com.
I'm the only one developing the projects different parts so im the worst one to be checking out its accessibility, usability and functionality. Thats why im calling on you guys for your mad development and testing skills.
Any feedback is good feedback for me so be as brutal as you like.
Cheers!
Charlie

NB: Just changed the source and CAB to support (hopefully) all resolutions of devices. All ive done is scaled up all controls in the app depending on the screen size of the target device. There may be some strange side effects of this on device but it seems ok on the emulator...
New site look and feel. Map page also updated with new upload section for online uploads of soundscapes. Check it out... (http://www.soundaroundyou.com)
Sounds really interesting, I´ll give it a try. Please keep the first post up-to-date, maybe add screenshots as well, thanks
---delete, double-post---
any chance to get a vwga version instead of qvgaas it is not useable on my topaz.
Cheers for the interest, im downloading the WM 6.5 toolkit now so I can give it a whirl on that platform.
Ill post up here when ive sorted it.
Cheers, C
Just uploaded new version
In response to MasterOfDesasters ive edited the app so that it scales all of its controls to be usable on a larger screened device.
Its a quick fix really but seems to do the job and makes sure that everything can be navigated and used as you would on it native sized version.
This scaling is not ideal so might throw up some strange effects on control placement, but ive found no issues yet on the emulator.
Thanks again for your interest, C

works so far, but the capture tab is rotated 180 degrees
interesting... but would like some more details. 1) there are two cabs - which should be installed? and 2) where are the sound recordings stored? internal or external?
yep same questions here... i would like to participate on your proyect seems to be nice... but why?
Strange but necessary!

Strange but intentional!
Aha, that is actually intentional. I should probably explain this on the welcome page. I do this so that the devices microphone is placed as far away from any obstructions as possible. I trialled an older version with some school students and I found that they were making recordings with their hands placed over the little mic hole at the base of their mobiles. Because of the high systematic error associated with the unsupervised recordings Ive had to make sure we get as many usable recordings as possible. The app saves the rotational state of the phone when the app starts so that it resets it back to normal when the app is exited though.
Thanks again for your help and I would love it if you could maybe upload some of your recordings to the site using the PC app if you get a chance. Where are you based out of interest?

Hey there, the single cab attachment is the one to install but it should be the same as the one in the source zip anyways.
The sounds are stored on the devices root in a folder named "Sound Around You" There is a settings file and however many wav files for each recording. Each of these recordings has an associated xml text file that contains your subjective responses.
You can locate and upload your recordings using the PC app so they are viewable on the world soundscape map and can then be used in my research.
Thanks for your interest and let me know how it goes for you. Any other thoughts you might have on the PC app or website would also be great as im having a hard time attracting the public to take part and im far too nerd orientated to properly publicise the project!

Aha, thats a question ive been asked before... Is that "why are we doing what we are doing?" or is that "why should you take part and what do you get out of it?"
The projects main plan is to raise public awareness of the sounds around them or their "soundscape". The effect the sonic environment has on it inhabitants is not fully understood and im trying to work out how and why aspects of it affects people in different ways.
By gathering up thousands of soundscape recordings and peoples opinions of them, I can attempt to assess soundscapes in terms of their "Quality". This people based understanding can eventually lead to improved design and planning of future cities and current public spaces in terms of their sound environment.
The data that the public generate will feed directly into my PhD, where I will boil it all down to discover what the determining factors are within a soundscape.
Some more press friendly outcomes may be the opportunity to find out the "best sounding city in the UK or the world" or the loudest or quitest place in the world.
Check out the site @ http://www.soundaroundyou.com and please keep in touch if you want to know anymore.
All the best.

Rebranded the website
Just overhauled the website with new graphics and info. Also added an online upload section so you can get something straight up there using either our mobiles apps or your own recorder.
Let me know what you think of the new look and if it all makes sense.

The Windows mobile version doesn't use the GPS unfortunately as I was having some real issues getting it working universally so I stripped it out. Our Java version for mobiles does though, if your mobile has a built in GPS receiver.
The way that these soundscapes are located without a GPS fix is by the dropping of a marker on a google maps box on the site @ http://www.soundaroundyou.com
But please give it a try and thanks for the interest!

need cab file desperately - ActiveSync not running... please post or direct me to correct web address - thanks in advance!!
anyone please tell me the web address to d/l the cab file please?
I'm sorry but we can't give you the link as, since there is no serial number protection or anything, it would be equivalent to giving a warez link and that's not what XDA Devs is about.
What?
serial number is entered AFTER installation!!
warez? are you crazy??
I HAVE purchased the program, activesync is screwed... all I ask for is the weblink... my god... !!!
I thought this forum was about HELPING people... asking for a weblink to download legitimately owned and purchased software is not a crime Melty... don't twist my request please....
philtech44:
You know as well as most regular uses of the board that enough people come online asking for freebies.
I'm not going to comment on piracy, I'm sure I'm as much of a hypocrite as most, but merely say that the board generally doesn't go in for handing commercial software out in a way that could easily be identified as illegal. But it certainly does go in for helping people out.
As far as I can remember, Voice Command 1.5 doesn't seem to use a serial number, before, during or after installation. As such, posting a link to the cab, legitimate user or otherwise, would allow quite a few industrious guys to get hold of it for free. Again, many of us skate close to the edge of legality on here anyway, but that would be a bit unwise for the Board's administration.
If you need a cab, it might be in the board's best interest for you to ask a few guys nicely and in less public fashion, or grab the cab from emule etc. It'll take about 5 mins max. While you're at it, CardExport II will allow you to access your phone even if activesync is down. Always worth having a "copy" of :wink:

There is a mac program called File Juicer that lets you extract the .cab files out of the .exe files that let you install programs onto pocket pc if you only have a mac...

If you dont have access to a mac there might be a similar program you could find that would do the same thing though.

You need to run the EXE on the desktop via Activesync. If no PDA is connected, at least the CAB files associated will be extracted from the EXE and stored in a folder. Then you can copy the CAB to the PDA manually. The other way is to get the CAB only from the manufacturer.

Yeah it's a shame if we're going to get many more threads like this one.
Maybe this thread should be locked as it has nothing to do with Voice Command any more?
Dead and Burried
I have requested that this thread be locked and used only as archive.
It has come about becuse people simply can't read and i have lost the motivation to release the next version of this tool.
I wish to that the people that did provide some feed back and could keep on topic (all be the minimal).
And excessive PMs will not be answered.
I will still drop in and maby release bug releases.
We will see how it all pans out.

IF thats what your thinking how about a small DONATION. It all helps and gotta supply me coffee :S
Well done
@Shaun33
Great work. I downloaded it, not tested jet, but it will work for sure.
Thank you to fulfill the request!!!!!
wow! great work.
I already have a working cab but i wish this was around when I was trying to first make it - good work - I'm sure a lot of people will really appreciate this! Now if only we can get one to configure and edit dialing plans
First findings...
Hi Shaun33,
Thanks a lot ! It's really a great initiative from you to write (and, mainly, make it available for everybody) such a program ! I have gave it a try, and have notice some small bugs, or better put, behavings not according to what I was expecting. Here are my first findings:
1. Not properly an error. Just an improvement, perhaps: I had already a Voip provision working on my device. So, it would be nice if the application could read the provision file, and bring its contents to the screen, beforehand. So, users could make small corrections only, in case their provisions were not working properly before.
2. This seems to be a bug, though: as I have not seen my provision on the screen, as stated above, I've decided to exit the program without making any changes, for what I have tapped the soft button "Exit", many times, but the application has kept running. I've had to kill its corresponding proccess to stop it.
Hope this post might help improving your your great application further. I'll try to keep you informed.
Thanks again !
Carlos
feature request
nice and useful app. thanks.
adding "dialplan editing" feature would be great.
in fact it would make the app complete.
following post would be helpful in this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1224031&postcount=454
Definatly, adding a dialing format editor would rock!
something along the lines of
Code:
+nn (nnnn) nnnnnn
where '+' is the international dialing code (replaced by 00)
'(' and ')' are alphanumerical characters expected
n is any numerical digit
' ' is a whitespace between other values
just to enter a simple string rather than \D{2}-\? etc...etc...
The exit button will be fixed.
How could i miss that .
The Dialplan is going to happen.
Im aiming for something like asterisk
07XXXXXXXX will match 0711111111 - 0799999999
As i said version 1.
reading the settings from the OS is a little harder then coding it... As the API is one way...
still looking
fantastic work, much appreciated
Shaun
Thanks for producing this great timesaver. Even in its V1 form it's already WAY more convenient than having to fiddle with _setup.xml, cabarc, etc.
I look forward to seeing your version that can save and load configurations and dialplans.
Thanks again

PRE-ALPHA RELEASE WITH ITALIAN TRANSLATION (experimental)
The preview release that was posted for download is now available with some minor improvements on the project site. This is the location you'll need for ALL future downloads of the program.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=221052
- A hex editor is in the works for the data portions that we don't have specific editors for.
- The team is 5 people now and we're all still finding our leg (I think), work still pushes on and hopefully we'll have full support for Hermes soon and move onto the next image type.
###################################################
OPEN SOURCE - DEVELOPERS NEEDED!!
I've decided to open source this project and have created a SourceForge project for it. The SourceForge project url is http://sourceforge.net/projects/visualromstudio. Anyone who's familiar with ROM image formats, HEX editing, C# and Windows Forms. If you're interested in helping with this project please PM me with your SourceForge unix name and a description of what you can contribute.
I've managed to configure PushOK/CVSNT/WinCVS/Putty to work as a SCC plugin to VS2008 and it works very well. It took about an hour to setup, but it makes working on this through the SourceForge CVS MUCH easier. I'll gladly share this info with anyone who needs it especially if you're volunteering for the project
###################################################
PREVIEW RELEASE
This release should be considered PRE-ALPHA!!!!
This preview release is a read-only release. This release will allow opening of ROM images (nbh files) and will display the contents of them and details of the pieces that I've been able to discern so far.
There is LIMITED save functionality which will allow ONLY the saving of data FROM the ROM image. This release DOES NOT include functionality to add pieces/files back into a NBH file and save it.
I am working diligently on this application and I'm still planning on putting something out this weekend (RL willing) that will at very least allow the swapping and saving of the NB portions and the replacement of the splash images. If I get a fair amount of time in this week on it, I'm really hoping to allow adding of new files to the OS images and saving of the NBH file itself.
I appreciate, as always, any feedback you may have.
Here are the files (.Net 3.5 Framework required - Developed on Vista x64 tested on x86)
Visual ROM Studio (RAR)
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5
###################################################
Well, this is one of my first ever posts. I’ve been an avid reader of this forum and have benefitted from many people’s hard work on different ROMs and CABs. I’ve been waiting for someone to come out with a visual ROM studio that would allow us non-perl gurus to cook our own special flavors of installable ROMs. I never could find one, so I decided to make one.
The goal here is to create a easy to use GUI allowing a person to open an NBH file and edit anything they like within the “.nb” portions of the file. This IS NOT simply a wrapper around a bunch of perl scripts that extract everything to your hard drive and does managed file browsing.
That being said, the perl scripts originally written by itsme were my base for beginning and he has been gracious enough to assist me in my transition of his perl scripts to an object oriented C# (.Net) desktop application.
Here’s the first milestone for VRS (Visual ROM Studio). It’s now able to open an NBH and list the basic image info as well as build the first level of the tree structure representing the sections of the image. Hopefully in another couple weeks I’ll be able to add additional levels and the splash image preview stuff.
If anyone has any info on reading the formats of the “.cnb/.nb” pieces for the various entries inside the DBH structure; I would welcome any and all insight or guidance that can be provided.
Thanks to itsme and pof...
1) The splash and sub splash, image editing is in place now.

I think extended ROM, I was playing with that a bit the other day and realized how simlpe that structure is.
I'll keep updating this post as I reach new milestone.
I'm really gratefull that so many more senior members have been so willing to help in this project, thanks again guys!
Wow
This I predict is going to be one of the biggest tools to come out as to date.Will this do do Extended Roms as well, or should Shaps Customizer be used?

Extended ROM will be one of the last things to be done, more than likely. I'm getting the core stuff in for now. My hope is that it will eventually be able to edit all facits of an image.

Looks good, This can change the way we want roms instead of relying on cookers.Extended rom part is usually the easy anyways.Something worth mentioning, Radio editing lol like cid(spl,ipl editing).You made an alpha version yet btw?
Looks awesome, i'll keep checkin in for it. And i'm not sure if anyone can really help me with this, but I need to know all the basics of editing the ROM. Thanks!
This is SUPERB news... Finally someone is willing to make a noobkitchen
I've been looking for something like this for a long long time!!
Thanks for the efforts...
This should be a sticky!!

I don't see a reason why it couldn't. My goal is that a final release would have been tested on at least a WM5 and WM6 (Std. & Pro.) for each phone listed on the XDA forum main page.
It's ambitious, I know, and it will take sometime.
BTW: If anyone out there is a C# developer familiar with WinForms and more specifically OO. If you'd like to help I can tear you off a chunk and this can get done even quicker.
Completely new here, and after two afternoons of reading, this is my first ray of hope
I was really disappointed when it got clear to me, that I would rely on other people to get an own customized ROM, with only those apps I need. All existing ROMs here are overloaded with applications I don't, and so is my shipped ROM...
Looking forward to see your app growing,
As I looked out for a smartphone, I always imagined customizing easy like nLite/vLite for XP/Vista, your the first one, giving me that hope back
im eagerly waiting for this release.
pre-congrates and thanx from me.
this is a very good idea, keep up the good work
dear freind
tell me please where can i get it?
with my regards
Whenever you can put something up for us to mess about with (particularly for Typhoon/Tornado), please let us kick the tires.
Wow...Looks promising

This looks like it will be the best tool out there...imagine being able to modify roms so easily, adding and removing files, editing registry, etc.

That would be brilliant papafred! Everything for translation is in resource files, when we get to a release point, I'll be sure to send you the resources for translation. Thanks for offering your help!
Cinemo is an application I wrote to provide showtimes for movies in your area. It uses the KListControl (written by gingercat and modified by myself) to provide (hopefully) easy to use controls.
Update - Beta 2 Release 3
I have just finished testing the new build which features a reworked interface as well as a few more features including:
Lost some weight
Critics Scores from Yahoo Movies
User Scores from Yahoo Movies(when available)
View movies by theater
Better source for movie showtimes(Yahoo Movies)
Overall faster interface(I think)
-Release 2:
More reliable movie posters
Should not crash when showtimes are unavailable
Canadian showtimes are available but you must enter the postal code into the text box via the QWERTY or copy and paste.
-Release 3
Fixed an issue where the application would crash if Yahoo Movies had no information for a zip code.
Coming in the next update:
1. GPS Location
2. Cinemo Scoring(Vote if you liked a movie or not + See average score from other people)
3. Send showtimes via SMS/Email/MMS to contacts
And long term goals:
1. View Trailers
2. Metacritic Scores(waiting on approval from them)
The new Interface:

Looks like a great prog - does it require .NET 3x? Or is it a standalone app?
Would it possible to set "preferred" theatres? There are some theaters I would always like to see listed first.
will this only work in the states?
So I'm assuming this here is an example of the stereotype of People who call themselves 'American', but actually mean a citizen of the USA, and forgetting anything outside its borders? Or Canada if prompted by someone else.
Aside from that,
which cinemas does it work for? only sepcific chains of cinemas or all?
suggest IMDb would be a better rating if possible?
suggest a favourite cinema search?
EDIT: I just noticed that you have two threads for this app which will be a bit difficult to keep track of, also I would suggest it goes into the General forum area and not the diamond or raphael as it's not specific to either device.

It currently works only in the United States and Canada. A good way to check to see if it works for you is to visit http://movies.yahoo.com and enter your postal code. If it returns movies in your area, this application will work for you.
As to the griping that it doesn't work anywhere else...feel free to write your own app if you feel this one is beneath you.

I was simply making the point that you're reinforcing American stereotypes, and suggesting that a little more info in the first post would be helpfull. Such as saying- 'it simply reads the data from http://movies.yahoo.com and is USA only' which would be helpfull to would be users. After posting I noticed in the other thread someone asked the question - 'is it USA only?'
I have only one cinema within reasonable driving distance, they send me a weekly email. I have no use for your app. I was just trying to be helpfull by suggesting a more user friendly thread and app.
looks like a great program. i've installed it on my touch diamond but i can't bring up my on-screen keyboard to input my canadian postal code :[

If you need to get a canadian postal code into the app, I suggest writing it in notes or a text, copy it, then paste it into the box by holding the stylus on the textbox til the context menu pops up. I know its cumbersome, and I am working on a different input method...but that should do it.
An alternative method, if you are feeling adventuresome and have a text editor. You can open up "Program Files\Cinemo\Cinemo.exe.config" and edit the location in there.
I know its inconvenient for Diamond users at the moment. I hope to come up with a better solution soon.
ah! the first method was a no-go, the context menu doesnt show up for the text box. editing the config file worked fine though
UK
I like the look of this so I am moving to America, But seriously can the functionality be extended? maybe the link below could be added as a source for us folks in the UK that would like to use this.
http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/
or even http://fr.movies.yahoo.com/
Movie Description
First off I think that this is a great program. It does exactly what it should and quickly. I was hoping that you could add some sort of brief movie desription for each movie. This would be the only thing that I would like to see added. Thanks again for a great little app!
This is a GREAT app.
Quick, minor suggestions:
Some minor plot or other general info might be nice
Would love to have rotten tomatoes numbers
For some reason, it won't pull in all the theaters in my area. Is there a number limit on theaters?
Would be very cool to integrate with GPS to tell local theaters depending on location (i know this is hard)
Great contribution to winmo community!

I'm working on something similar for the UK actually. It's early days, but I'll throw up a test version when done. Unfortunately my development for today is stopping due to a small bug i'd put in meaning my pc made too many requests to Yahoo while debugging and they have banned me with a 999 error for a few hours!

That is some interesting news I am glad to hear of your development and sad to hear yahoo are pissing you off. I for one will definitely make use of your app. Roll on.
Do you have any plans to support other resolutions (QVGA, WVGA)? Looks like an awesome app as far as I can tell on my Titan. (Yeah, I know what forum I'm in )
there is a way for italians users? thanks for great application my friend.
any chance to get support for the HTC Touch? The buttons are too big and the right one isn't accessible for me.
thanks man this app looks promising... i look foreward to more updates in the future
Anyone know why this app no longer works?
To all developers:
I would like to have an application on my ppc that would help me to manage my collection of euro coins.
I am sure that there are a lot of ppc users out there, who collect the several variations of the common currency of more than 300 million Europeans. There used to be a relevant ppc application, which has not been updated for ages. It’s called Euro Coins Pocket Collector and you can find it here:
http://www.albegor.com/ecpcfeatures.htm
If you are interested, please check the following picture that will give you an idea of what I’m talking about. If anyone is interested in developing such an application, I will provide all the necessary pictures and info about all euro coins.

Hi,
This is actually a nice program idea. I would like to develop it
A friend of mine is also a collector and already has some ideas for features.
I would like to start with discussing the features that this app should have.
Intresting idea..
Hi Marc,
I'm glad to hear this. I have a few ideas on how this should work, but I’m willing to hear opinions by others.
First of all, there are two kinds of collectors: “simple” collectors who only seek to find one of each coin, and “advanced” collectors who collect coins minted every year. The second kind of collecting is a very expensive hobby. Therefore, I, along with many of my friends, belong to the first group of collectors. And I want this application for this simple collecting, which will make the application simple as well.
Now, how I’d like it to work:
The pictures show all its functions, more or less.
As you can see in picture 1, I want it to manage several collections, There will also be a few simple options, which I can’t remember right now (I had this idea and created these mockups many months ago).
In pictures 2 and 4, you can see that you can either open a previously created collection, create a new one ore edit it (rename, delete, duplicate).
In pic 3 you can see the 3 ways in which a collection can be opened. You can either choose a certain country to see how many of its coins you have, or you can choose to see all the coins of all the countries together, or you can see only the commemorative 2€ coins.
In pictures 5, 6 and 7 you can see how the coins will appear on screen whenever you select each of the above options.
In picture 8 you can see how you can add a new coin you have found. You can also see info and picture or write any notes for that coin. The point of this is that if you have more than one of that kind of coin, you can exchange with other collectors.
These are the main features I’m looking for. I can’t wait to see your replies.
Marc,
if you have anything else to ask, I'll gladly reply.
I can't wait to begin with this project.

I am waiting for a friend who also collects Euro coins. He wants to give some input too.
In case that your friend is an “advanced” collector, we can add more options to make it suitable for advanced collectors.
Hi all
I am an antique coin collector, do you think this app could also be applied in this case. For instance I don't need countries but civilisation ( Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Crusader. And for the 2 first, subdivisions like Greek syrian, Greek judean, Greek egyptian etc.. ) This could save me a lot of trouble managing and showing enlarged pics, instead of handling them directly.
tito12,
I have ideas about such a feature, too. But this depends on the developer from now on. MarcLandis is interested in developing this application; therefore we should wait for a reply from him.
My ideas on this are the following: (If these additional features are implemented, the application should be renamed to “Coin Collector”, not “Euro Coins Collector”)
Allow user to create custom collection, which don’t have to do with euro coins. Thus, the user should give a name and a picture to each coin. The application should directly give the ability to the user to
a) load a collection which is already stored on the device, or
b) take a picture of the coin. The alternative option is to
c) download a custom collection, which I would name “series”, rather than custom collection. An example of this: Let’s say that tito12 has created a “Greek Syrian series” (not collection, just names and pictures of coins, not how many of these he has) for himself. Then he can upload it to the internet (I don’t know if this is easy for Marc) and a user who is interested in the same series, he can download and start creating his own collection.
Marc, we are waiting to hear from you.
Hi Angelo cy
It sounds very exciting, it could be the first app for collectors Thinking about it, it's a kind of inventory with pictures, so there could be already somewhere a base to start with.
Hey Marc, here my 2 cents. We should find a valid source for downloading new coins. So if anyone knows a site or a feed where we can get new coins (complete country series, 2-EUR commemoratives, 10-EUR commemoratives, special coins (e.g. I have a 1/4 EUR coin from france)). Otherwise we need to implement a database where we can fill it.
As well I would like to have a functionality to send a table with the coins I already have / coins I'm still missing via mail, as some friends often bring new coins excited and I have to tell them, that I already have them
Let the games begin.
Hi,
I am going to create some preview screens as I don't like the examples pictures in the first post a lot. I am more thinking of a scrollable list similar to what I use in my Departure application.
I will create the tool to support any kind of coin collections not only Euro as there is not much extra effort to do it.

I can provide all the necessary pictures and info for all the euro coins (plus the 2 euro commemoratives). And if there is noone else willing, I can provide pics and info for the rest commemoratives (non-2 euros). Everything is in Wikipedia.

Good point. Marc consider this as a "future feature" (wow what a phrase ). The user can directly send the collection through the program, either by email/mms/bluetooth. And think of an "export to excel" feature as well.

I don't like them either. The original mock-ups were much prettier but they were in Greek, so I covered the original texts with those ugly white boxes to put the English texts.
I agree with the scrollable list, therefore at pic 5 we can have a "one line per country list" with its flag next to it. But in pics 6 and 7, a scrolling list wouldn't fit, in my opinion.
Another feature I'd request is the ability to make it easily localized. We can begin with English, and then I can translate it in Greek, you can translate it in German and so on. If it's possible, allow each translation to be added with a simple .txt file, in order to have it in as many languages as possible.
And an option that comes in my mind right now and that some users would find useful, is to sort the countries either alphabetically or chronologically.

Well I didn't mean that we user a scrollable list all the time Some of the views should use "normal" layouts.

My scrollable list control supports alphabetically and manual sorting.
I am currently extracting the UI controls from my Departure project into a separate library so I can reuse it in this project.
Coins collector
Hello,
I am a "simple" euro coins collector and this seems to be a good idea.
For images of the coins (current) may go here
http://www.ecb.int/euro/html/hires.en.html
For €2 commemorative coins see the attach file
About €2 commemorative coins are missing images, i will try to get it
Marc, sorry for being impatient, but are there any screenshots to feed our curiosity?

Hi,
unfortunately I am currently very busy at work and have a sick daughter at home. I am going to have a preview as soon as possible but can't give any estimate.
Don't even think about it my friend. You can work on that whenever you have time.
I wish quick recovery to your daughter and all the best to you and your family.
Marc, any news?
