Well it took a while, and some lobbying, and two days ago I didn't
think it was going to fly.  But a miracle has occurred.  The CIO
signed the "Employer Disclaimer of Rights" form today!  I have the
original signed form in my possession!  I will send you my final
patches this evening.  (Regression testing has revealed additional
problems, which I have fixed.)  Thank you for your patience and your
encouragement.

(Jim, please note the CC list is back on.)
