Re: failed to run rcmes following the step-by-step document

[Rashyd ZAABOUL]

Thank you Chris and many thanks to all your colleagues for their help. It's
very useful tool and I keep sending requests to the mailing lists you
mentioned.

Kim, I'll look at the code and try to use the function calc_pdf.

Thanks and best regards
Rashyd
