	O.K. There actually is stuff that gets printed out to this effect
but I shut this off in the install process. You can edit OmniView.lax and
turn this all on changing the line:

	stderr=
	
	to
		
	stderr=console

	and 

	stdout=

	to

	stdout=console


	We'll make these changes in a patch release after I get back from
vacation (Jan 8).


	Thanks for the suggestions

	This may prove to be more difficult than you might image but we
can look into doing something to alert the user to timeout like ensembl
does? (Error message along length of track?)

	No, we had some cunfusion as to the ensembl DAS server so we still
serve things using out own plugin mechanism. Sorry about that...We'll add
ensembl tracks in a patch release. 


	I will enter your requests into the sourceforge site as bugs. What
do you see as the top priority?? I think the time out and progress bar for
UI??
