Re: Proper lash up

Ah, yes, the "temporary" fix. Back in the early 1990s, I encountered a comment of the form:

/* The following two lines are a temporary fix for the xxx problem. Sept. 1971 */

I decided that I wasn't about to touch temporary code which was legally old enough to drink. For that matter, to the best of my knowledge, that code is still in place, and still running!
