Now say, didn't everyone here imply that this must be possible?

That's very nice and truly helpful. Did you know that there's een a law in Germany that _requires_ a manufacturer (or importer) to supply a detailed printed manual in german, otherwise the purchase would be regarded as incomplete? Can you imagine that this is probabely one of the most often irrespected laws? That's "modern times" these days... (And then there are the cases where you are working at some machine in an environment that would provide everything for direct access everywhere, just you're not _allowed_ to do it because the machine may not have any connection to any network that has an outside connection. Or it is located in an area where it is impractical or even impossble to provide network access, or it is mobile and has to be able to move freely. And still there are software producers in that field that _do_ require internet access to their sites to provide any support should you have a question.) It's very good to know that there are still some persons who think about such situations and provide solutions that are really usable. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
