to be honest, I struggled with myself before writing this mail and I 
do not want to start any kind of flame war. But I'm not sure if 
I now should say thank you for the patches or simply reply with
*PLONK* 

I'm not sure how many hours I've spent on that damned code and the
last thing I would like to see is a sh... comment wrt (2) or some
educational corrections to me or anybody else on this list.

Real help is appreciated, patches are welcome, education in any 
direction is counteractive. 

Cheers,
 Gerhard
