Thomas, I am waiting for a reply....

Please tell me where potential name clashes are and how you like to 
deal with a problem that seems to be caused by not looking to the outside...

-       Which programs from SAM FS have name clashes?

-       What do you intend to do in order to solve the problem

        -       Do you like to install the SAM FS utilities in 
                directories other than /usr/bin and inform your
                customers about possible problems?

        -       Do you intend to rename your utilities that
                have name clashes?
