Carl, you are great! After struggling with this shortened-flags issue
for 5 months, i wouldn't have enough motivation to continue my work
without your help!
Right now I'm reading all the stuff that i did to remind myself where
i am. As for now it looks that you are pointing me in the right

Thanks!!
Janek
