Hi Thomas,

I wrote the Tree PlugIn for Moray, I know there are a few things wrong with
it but I'm on a Round the World Trip until Oct 14th so do not have access
to my source code or a compiler :-(

I will take on board what you have said and when I get back and have a job
I'll sort it out :-)

I hope that helps,

Cheers,

Keith
