xAPHomeVision is about to be relaunched. Major upgrading, ahem,
supporting BSC 1.3.

It seems to be working here OK, so will be uploaded to my website over
the weekend.

Likewise, BSCMapper is working fine and about to be uploaded. The extra
functionality is a Load/Save configuration, plus a lot of work under the
hood by Mary and Kevin, to allow an "inverted map" between BSC
endpoints.

On the HV stuff, can you give me a bit more detail on what functionality
you'd like added, and we can add to the worklist? Mary's diary is a lot
more free as of Monday next week.
