Unfortunately with one of these options (´ChecksOnly´) there´s still a little problem, for which not even Heiner Marxen has yet found the reason (or a solution ), but he´s working on it (at least I think so ;-)), and I hope he´ll solve this problem - otherwise I will have to take out this feature again (or at least restrict its possibilities to the part which is working correctly). Best regards, Franz.
