Hi Bruce,

In past Herfried has written some messages about this (396 and because he
answers this one as well 397 after that).

Have a look for it, what you ask is as far as I know in it.

Hi Herfried,

Because of my message where your name is in that 397 was already reached.
(Nothing wrong pointing the OP on a more direct link, however could not
resist to write this one)
