Thanks and I am glad you have alerted me to the 5.1 issue. Good
idea as for the installer, I'll probably do that for the full release.

Making a doubles installer seems just a matter now of keeping
separate builds and installer packages and adapting the
scripts. I also thought late last night (actually as I woke up to
see to my toddler) that should be simple to have separate
GUI apps linked for each package (just a matter of renaming
them in the installer).

We'll keep listening in for bug reports.

Regards

Victor
