Sorry for the inconvenience. Of course, I will take a look,
but please give me a bit of time, I'm currently a bit over-
whelmed with "official" work. Please complain when I don't
get back to you in a few days. Perhaps I also will have to
ask a few more questions - I downloaded mancala and had a
short look at it but didn't figure out yet what it's suppo-
sed to do;-)
                           Best regards, Jens
