Just grabbed it this morning.  I don't think you made a liar out of the original
poster at all.  Looking at the distribution we have a Steve Gerakines to thank
(unless this is Mr. Monroy's pen name).  I did not see you name anywhere on the
software.  In fact Steve not only has the sole copyright but also is kind 
enough to have all problems/questions directed to -his- E-mail address.  It 
doesn't look like Jesus will even be offering support for the driver.   :)
