Hi Dave,

I'm looking forward to getting TWGR from Amazon.  I very much
appreciated your RfR and your numerous contributions to the Ruby and
Rails newsgroups.

I've only used 1.9 when I wanted to use both forward- and backward-
lookahead.  Otherwise it seemed unready for prime time.  Do you thing
the current release is ready for production projects?

Best wishes,
Richard Muller
