No pun intended, but excuse me, you can't mean it this way! Are we caught in a new circle? How can the older program be precisely known in its strength? Of course it it isn't! Because it had the same status the new ones have today... And the all the answers from Bertil follow that same fallacious line. It's a pity! Also, what is calibration in SSDF? Comparing the new unknown with the old unknown? No pun inded. Before making such a FAQ let's please find some practical solutions for SSDF. Rolf Tueschen
