I don't know, but one would hope that the interfaces for guest drivers are being kept stable... Anyway, thanks for the pointers, I wasn't aware of those sources for the software at all. TUV may still have some additional IP in what they provide to subscription customers. Otherwise I wouldn't understand the restrictive license and no source being provided at all. -- Stephan Wiesand DESY -DV- Platanenenallee 6 15738 Zeuthen, Germany
