Alain & Others,

I just arrived (yesterday) from Dublin and I'm leaving (today) for ten days
in Bad Boll; consequently, I right now cannot submit the proper material to
you. When I'm back, I'll be back on this, unless Klaas Ruppel (on copy) will
be able to do so in the meantime. Incidentally, Microsoft has found enough
evidence on the validity of our claim to have now added them to their
implementation.

Regards, EIK
