I think it ended when I offered to help, and Bill provided a set of 
"requirements" (damifino where he got them) to go into the code.  I figured 
I wait until he'd finished all the changes we was going to put into the 
release before I started mucking with it.  Unfortunately, the release has 
been pushed back (and i've been busy anyhow).  I got the impression that if 
I couldn't produce exactly to Bill's requirements he wouldn't put the code in.
