I am interested in your problem and might even be able to help, but I cannot cope with this. You have not quoted what you are replying to, and there is no air here at all. I could, of course, reformat it, but I would still not have the quotation. You will of course get help from those who are not bothered by such things. But you might get more answers if you made yourself more accessible. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
