Hi Per,
thanks for the information and your effort about it.
That sounds good, its maybe also interesting for other users than Sailors.
I dont have any requirements at the moment. Rolf is on its own way to the
final.
If it is an impass, java could be a alternate way. Let's wait and see what
happend.
Enjoy the nice feeling with java;-)
I will try again with the javapskmail-client, because I could not get anything
out of fldigi.
I have to spend some minutes more on it than the last time (hi).
