I am waiting for those, too. They are supposed to be posted asap
(but the posting that said so is more than two weeks old ;-).
Another question concerning the 1.5.3 version: I now have a complete
1.5.0 that matches the crc's from Frans. To stay consistent with the
official version, I haven't applied any patches from the net that didn't
come from him. Now there are several known bugs in 1.5.0 that I hope
will be fixed "officially". The commands should be OK now in the ST
1.5.3 version, but I still worry about the library - the old strncpy
bug & co. Can one use the IBM 1.5.3 library, in which those bugs should
be fixed, or are there ST specific patches being prepared?

Keep patching,    Stefan
