Hello! I did send two more messages the same day I sent the first one. Looks like they got lost. I'll bouce them now to the list for completeness. The reasons for them getting lost may well be my chaotic mail setup at that time. The damaged box was my internet gateway and mailserver so I had to improvise a "little bit". ;) On 22-Mar-2002 Heinz J .

Heinz, I'll send that files to you via private mail now. If anyone else is interested please send me a short note. I'll be glad to send the files to you, too. > Send that to me attached via email ASAP because I'll be leaving for a > vacation trip tonight and can't help you before after Easter again. I assume you are gone now and will get my mail after easter. That is no problem for me as my box is working again. I did write that in the two mails which did not make it to the list before today. Thanks for your generous offer for fast help.
