Ok then, but what else can I do to get them tested or reviewed, except 
the testing I can do on the two machines I have? About which time frame 
are we talking, approximately? The (many possible) approaches to the 
watermark patch are now over a year somewhere waiting in the 
testing-and-review pipeline, and that is only one minor problem of the 
many problems of the 830/845 support.

Thanks for your support,

Thomas
