  Hi,

  Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have any
  experience in programming(but I intend to learn in the
  near future). So I can't really help you with this.
  I would appreciate it if you could let me know when
  you have something useful. Just post a message on this
  mailing list.

  Thanks

  Timo
