Hi Jean-Francois, thanks a lot for your long answer! What about putting all of the information on the hivetranse homepage or in a hivetranse wiki? I'm quite sure many other people will be highly interested in it...
Next week I will take a closer look at HiveUtils. ;) Sincerly, Andreas On 13.

Other utilities would prove more useful for Client | applications (eg.
