Hello Steve!
This information is amazing. Thank you for this new work with Unicode...

I look forward to creating some new web pages linking to your new  
information...

I am behind, but hope to get to some web design shortly...

And Stefan, the great photos you shared with us will be posted soon as  
well...

Thanks for all your great messages, everyone!

Val ;-)
