Dear Kingsley,

Thank you very much for the links! I was actually willing to include Openlink stuff, having been impressed by it a while ago.
But when trying to find it again yesterday, I found only a link [1] via wikipedia [2] or the ESW wiki [3], which does not work, at least not for my browser. As I had not much time to investigate and ask, I went for the easy option :-/

But I changed it now! 

Best,

Antoine
