You mean you agree that it's mine or we should do it ;-)

So what I can prepare is another COW option -B analog to -L,-V
which connects to netscape using a specific Form input URL like:

	http://bugzilla.netrek.org/cow?release=3.00&patch=2&arch=linux

I may also try to make the client Web command an .xtrekrc variable so
that it need not be netscape if someone prefers another one.

Maybe I will add it also to the COW shell tools window, so that it may be
launched during game play within the client.

If it will be added for the client it should be at least included for the server
as well.

I hardly read rgn., so I'm often surprised if somone talks about some
known bugs and I haven't heard of :-(

Would be fine if you may do it. Tell me the required URL so that I may
add it to the client.

PS: My company just informed me that, I have to go most probably to
California/Silicon Valey for a few weeks in September, which gives me also
the possibility to add a few days holiday afterwards to meet some people.
Is anyone in that area interested in a visit? I will get more infos when I'm
back from holiday next week.
