Hello Hans,

First off thank you for your interest. I am a GNU/Linux user, and while Fedora
is not my main distribution of choice, I do feel a strong urge to give back to a
community that has given (in my eyes) desktop GNU/Linux so much.

As stated above I would rather have the bug temporarily put on hold (closed?)
until I can dedicate my time to it. There are many things happening from May -
June (July maybe) that will prevent me from working on this on a regular basis
(moving,  work changes, family vacation, etc.). I don't necessarily mind leaving
the bug open as is, but if it will inconvenience anyone (I guess it is not
"standard operations") please do with it what you must.

That being said I have thought of coding a project that will replace Scantool
GUI and thus the somewhat outdated Allegro and dzcomm dependencies. I know there
is a CLI only project called freediag that I believe is much better maintained,
and writing a GUI front end in SWT or Python should not be very difficult...
Hopefully I can port a few features from Scantool_net to freediag in the process
(It has been a while since I used freediag... maybe it is now feature rich(??)).

Either way I do hope in the near future (July?) I can take you up on that offer,
and deliver a firm commitment; whether it be on scantool_net, or a new project
of the same nature.

Thanks,
-Ian
