Oh, I'll join in now and then with my Pretz's results, just not Chest's. I think
it's nicer if Heiner does that, don't you agree? And I think your expectations
of me are a bit high! :)

Yes, Windows 98 on one machine, Windows XP on the other. Heiner showed how he
does things on Unix, but they can be translated to Windows I think. But for now
I do it a bit simpler.

Well, you have a family to support, I don't, so that makes a big difference. But
you get a lot back from them for your support I hope ... :)
