Redman, another poster mentioned some days ago that they had called the co and were told that the deal is effectively done but sitting in somebody's in-tray awaiting the inexorable grinding of the wheels of bureaucracy. Apparently we are dealing with a multinational where people are paid salaries and consider that deadlines are for 'the other people'. For what it's worth, I believe it will be worth waiting for but I can't give you anything concrete that would convince you of this.
