    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have any
    experience in programming(but I intend to learn in the
    near future). So I can't really help you with this.
    I would appreciate it if you could let me know when
    you have something useful. Just post a message on this
    mailing list.

    Thanks

    Timo
