Hi Bill,

Yes, it was a lot easier than expected thanks to your wise choice.
I must look what (if any) part of disk 2 I might need in Australia, where I
will take only a camera tele and will borrow a drive.

I am wondering, since I did not visit the Website for a few years, is there
anything that I should take the trouble to download or is Guide more or less
complete since I translated it to dutch?
