<div>Do you have a timeline for releasing v4.02?</div>

No, not yet. There are one or two things I want to get fixed before
I release 4.02. I try not to do releases when I know there are
outstanding issues I haven't fixed yet.<br>

Files uploaded to ZendTo-dev are scanned for viruses. But still
exercise the same degree of caution as you would with any other
file you download. Users are also <b>strongly encouraged</b> to
encrypt any files containing sensitive information (e.g.
personal private information) using a tool such as "Winzip" or
"Encrypt Files", before sending them via ZendTo-dev! </div>

What's wrong with that? The "ZendTo-dev" names are taken from the
definition of "ServiceTitle" in /opt/zendto/config/zendto.conf as I
intended.<br>

<div>Would you please give some thought as to if the code and the
text of the message could be separated into different files?</div>

I've already done that. If you want to change the user interface at
all, the idea is this:<br>
<br>
1. Minor tweaks, such as your organisation name and service name,
are done in /opt/zendto/config/zendto.conf.<br>
2. Major tweaks, such as a completely different user interface for
your organisation, are done in the template files in
/opt/zendto/templates.<br>
Neither will be overwritten by future upgrades of the code, which
lives in /opt/zendto/www and /opt/zendto/lib.<br>
<br>
Other than a bit of Javascript that is necessary for the current
implementation of the user interface, no code is included in
/opt/zendto/templates. And there is no user interface code at all in
/opt/zendto/www or /opt/zendto/lib. You can change the user
interface completely, without having to touch the "business logic"
at all.<br>
