Heinrich, no I did not get a response beyond what their sales
representative would say, that they do not give samples and there is
documentation at their website only. Likely this question I asked went
nowhere and was read by person(s) who could not engage with me on the
topic. Anyone with a contact at that company is welcome (in my opinion)
to push this issue further and get an answer from someone with agency in
the matter. -E
