Colin & the others,
No, I most surely don give up. However, I have other tasks to fulfil 
that now need my attention urgently (e.g. music and community work as we 
just have started a society to promote chamber music in our town 
(>180.000 inhabitants) but I will try tonight to work on it and if I don 
succeed I will continue on Sunday (of course all ocal time!).
