This sounds really like a turnaround! Due to a reinstallation of a new
browser, I lost the path to the document! Please can anyone give me a clue
as to where I can get this quoted document? Either the english or the german
version will do. In case anyone will just mail me a copy (offline, as no
attachments go through the forum), I tell my mail assistant to let it
through, even if it exceeds 1 MB.
Thank you very much!
