I absolutely agree Roger. Of course, I am no programmer and I can only
"complaint" whenever I find (or I think that I find) something not
working. Please, if my complaints lie within your interests, I kindly
ask for "pointers" how I could _at least_ provide better (more
convincing?) "complaints" ;-)

Thanks for the feedback in any case. Nikos
