I don`t know how long is the way from Trier to Maastrich. I am not in Maastrich available but we found a way, hope so. Hope after all what you write and I understand (must translate your messages complete at home, not easy English for me) you have a hardware problem. I mean to think that you write here in the past that you have a Dual Ferret version (I am not sure). Hope that Gandalf and Ferret can start in Maastrich and if so I wish the programmers all the best :-) Best Frank
