Thank you very much Corinna. I will definitely try that out. The
machine in question, unfortunately, had been pulled out and I would
have access to it only in the next week or two. Hence, my updates
regarding this topic would come a little bit later. I am, however,
interested in a resolution, if there is any. Thanks to all you've
suggested.
Until then.
Best Regards,
Carlo
