Indeed, yes. Latest released version won't build :) I checked out the CVS code to retrieve the missing files (the tar file is not very consistent) and it just does the trick now. I am now evaluating both records and notes. My preference goes to notes-mode since its author is answering to all my questions. I use to use it prior to moving to planner mode. Last time I tried it I found it worked fine. While it may not be maintained at the moment, that doesn't necessarily mean its broken or of now use. I've got a couple of packages I've been using for 10 years that haven't been updated since the mid-90s and they still work just fine. So do I, this was a bad argument ;) Sorry.
