Thanks for the update. Those figures seem much better now. Obviously will
never be 100% but it looks pretty good. I will try out a few more measured
caps that I have just built and see what it's like.
For everybody elese eagerly awaiting release 1.0 (which is FREE!!) I hope it
won't be too long now. Just have more testing to do.
