I provided an explicit list of files and functions I changed as well as the variables I added and modified. All you had to do was download the zip file, go look at the list of items I changes and give me feedback on the changes. Had there been interest in the work, I would made the effort to get it into your source code tracking system. 


But since there was never any interest expressed, this work never happened. After inquiring of the status a few times with no response, I gave up on it.



I'm not seeking to complain about the situation. It is what it is. I'm simply responding to Daniel telling me that if I want something changed, I should go change it myself.   I made the effort to change it.
