     Hi Alex
     We have so far not published the BUC-blitz settings as I had
     hoped to get detailed results from your side. These settings
     seem to do rather well according to your list. But I would
     appreciate receiving all details. Please send me an email.
     [P.S. We may have a still stronger setting -:)]
     Cheers
     Kurt
