MetrO 5.4.2 bug

M. Yawitz reported an annoying bug in the latest release.

It affects only Palm users who installed files for Hokkaido, Kyoto/Osaka, Nagoya, Osaka, Sapporo and/or Tokyo on an external memory card. These cities are listed under "garbage" names in the city list. No other side-effect should occur.

I have fixed this problem and you may download again the MetrO package if you're affected.

New York

S. White reported a minor error on one of the New Jersey Transit lines in New York (USA). I took the opportunity to check and improve the trip times on the NJT rail lines.

Lost mail about Frankfurt

I have reasons to believe that a mail about some changes in Frankfurt (Germany) was flagged as spam by Yahoo! Mail and disappeared before I could read it.

If the person who sent it read this could she/he try again? Sorry for the inconvenience...
