My guess is that very few old timers, power users and role-players will
bother with 2.0 once third parties viewers implementing the v1 UI will
have all the main features of v2.0 backported...

Yes. Unlike most other third parties viewers, I provide individual patches
for each feature/fix/improvement implemented in the Cool SL Viewer, and
this both for the v1.23 and v1.19 branches (yes, I also intend to try and
backport Tattoo and Alpha support into v1.19, for the benefit of people with
"old" computers).

In fact, most third parties viewers already use part of the Cool SL Viewer
patches... No wonder since it has been around for almost two years and a
half now.

Oh, and that's it: I fixed the last quirk... Patch ready for v1.23. Will
try and backport it to v1.19 tomorrow...

Henri.
