Anton,
I will downlaod and review where the code is at. Write support is going to be very tough at this point -- they have changed some of the on-disk strucutures again for the journal and several meta files. However, with the DOJ settlement, they will be required to share this information, so our job could get easier. I will approach some folks and see where they are at. Hopefully, it won't go down the way it did last time.
Jeff
