 Yeah i thought so, thanks, i've seen this before but it thought it may be
another way.....
 But the CM9SKR.param was the exact one that Graham has sent me and that he was
using for his tournament.
 So is there any chance that Graham had found a way to use the contains of the
CMSKR.param to have a correct and working SKR personality? Graham......?
 Because is will be a tough job for me to convert all (~23 the number)
CM9xxx.param files to have the "cm_parm" command in fromnt of each parameter and
to rename them too.......! :-(

 So Graham did you use the CM9xxx.param files or something else.........? And
please if you have the CM9xxx.txt with the "cm_parm" command in front of each
can you sent them to me for getting me out of the trouble to convert
them.........
