Hi George,

as you know, I am the author of kwintv. Sorry for sending you
no feedback to your mails about kwintv but sometimes I donīt 
answer emails... I stopped working on kwintv since 
I had no more time for this. So it is okay for me if you 
start/continue to maintain kwintv in the future. Maybe
I can contribute to the sources in the cvs tree when 
I have some more time. Of course we (you) should coordinate
our work. 

Regards,
Moritz
