Thanks a lot!
sorry, I meant the whole Fractal; for SoC we chose only part of it
because of the relatively tight schedule.

I'd like to get the whole bunch. May I ask for explanation where code
is not clear enough for me?
As you point out, the port will be almost a rewrite, because of the
different nature of the two languages. What I aim to keep is the logic
and the result of ~15 years of testing. Of course I will notify you of
any backportable bugfix.

thanks again,
Anne
