Alan feels very happy about the deal and grateful for the help :-) I think
it is in principle an effective way of developing the Toolbox Modules. We
all have our particular interests, and maybe come across problems (or
'wishes') in those areas from time to time.

What is wanted, I think, is an Update_Bank where modified versions can be
found, in between new MacPerl version releases, with a (terse)
Update_Bank_Readme setting out what has been altered for what reason. It
ought to be up to those of us who raise the problem in the first place to
write the notes. If Matthias thinks this a workable idea I will try and
write something about the issues I have raised recently.
