Thank you Ritesh! However the isolated box is without reach at the moment, I'll have to wait till<br>Monday when they go to work and I can ask them to bring the zip inside.<br><br>Will report back as soon as I can try it out.<br>
<br>Just out of curiosity, what should the proper signature file look like ?<br><br>thanks again,<br><br>Georg<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 10:44 PM, Ritesh Raj Sarraf <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rrs@researchut.com">rrs@researchut.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am not sure why your signature file is a little differently generated than<br>
what I have. Anyways, this gives room to make assumptions more clean and<br>
robust.<br>
I have fixed the problem and did a test with the signature file you provided.<br>
Everything seems to be working.<br>
<br>
In case you would like to test, I have put up the archive file at [1]. Let me<br>
know your results.<br>
