Hi John,

Yes, I'm still alive! Although formally retired, my life is now mainly
focussed on database applications under Linux; I no longer have any
working RISC OS hardware, nor any emulator, so am not really in any
position to help out now, although I've been following what you've been
doing.

Thanks for keeping the project going; you're welcome to do whatever you
see fit!

I think you have full admin permissions at sourceforge, in any case, so
you should be able to change permissions, but I have added all
permissions, including release technician (must be something new) for you.

Good luck!
Cheers, Tony
