Hi Steve -

Wow. This is exciting. Thank you for your hard work. I look forward  
to reading it...

It makes my work on the ISWA 2008 even more vital...so this is  
encouraging me to finish the new symbols added to the ISWA...which i  
am working on now...Target date for the completed ISWA is end of  
December 2007...for release in 2008...

Val ;-)
