Thanks John, and I was waithing patiently as I know have been at the
convention.
One little thing re searching. A few people have mentioned search fields,
and I think there needs to be some changes made to decrease the amount of
names that appear during certain searches. For instance, I was searching for
'Ice' looking for an iris whos name starts with ice, and whos second name a
friend has forgotten. Now I downloaded several hundred names, all with ice
somewhere in the name. As a test I searched using the letters in, and down
loaded over 8000 iris names before I could check which ones start with 'In'.
It seems to me that those irises beginning with the letters you type should
appear first. It might be best to be able to use the format *ice if looking
for a name containing the letters ice (not at the beginning).
I feel that this will cause at least a little trouble.
Comments from others?
Cheers, Jan Clark
