Thanks very much -- that helped a lot -- there is one outstanding problem, but, for various reasons, I don't have time for a full reply atm -- I'll try to reply more fully tomorrow or the day after. On Monday, December 24, 2018 06:22:58 PM Elimar Riesebieter wrote: > * rh kramer [2018-12-24

Recommendation for Virtual Machine and Instructions to set it up?
