Hi Steve and Jerry,
thanks for the review and the proposed changes. I have based on them, but
needed to adapt some places, because the meaning was changed. Can you please
take another look?
Jerry, where do I find this check-script? In bin/ nothing jumps out at me to be
a check-script.
Thanks,
Andre
