Hi Marcin,

On 2017-09-26 19:30:18, you wrote to All:

I think they are linked, but if they are reading and still developing golded, I 
doubt very much.

Maurice Kinal and Nicholas Boel recently discussed this in the ASIAN_LINK area 
(which you can rescan from me). But I think Nicholas used the same solution as 
you...


Bye, Wilfred.
