Hello Mojca,

Since you don't use Windows, it may be useless, but here is the proper link:

Thank you for detailed suggestions! All your proposals I can implement 
(theoretically).  :-)

How can I tell necessary zips from unnecessary? And do you mean cont-tmf and 
other zips found on the pragma site?
