Jean-Marc, all,

I *have* been very busy recently. Apologies for neglecting this list.

I would like to upload the xforms-1.0 source code to the home page 
once more but need to have/use pgp to do so. As this will require me 
to find the time to read up on pgp and how to use it, this may take 
some time :-(

So, Jean-Marc, if you have pgp set up on your machines, the archive is 
at

www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/stable.pkg/1.0/README-1.0
www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/stable.pkg/1.0/xforms-1.0.tar.gz
