Re: Reverse engineering problem on views

Hi Andreas (again!)

I haven't even looked at this one - I assume it's likely to be your
reformatting code that I never quite got my head around?

Also, to save writing another email - I notice when connecting now a
black rectangle is shown briefly. I assume this is the status message
that you added? If so, it never seems to draw properly on Windows. Dunno
about Unix.

Regards, Dave.
