Hi Kate,

I think it would be better if you could upload an example file (describing
what is actual and what are your desiderata) to www.savefile.com or
www.rapidshare.de, because I think I have understood quite nothing, but I
think it could be very interesting... (Sorry, but maybe it depends on the
late hour: here is 2:58 am...).

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
