Thanks Craig,

I was a Pascal/C/Fortran/Assembler programmer 20 years ago ;-). Today it is
possible for me to write script programs and a little bit in C/C++.
I don't know anything about perl so it seems impossible for me to write the
above script.
I will try to unzip the necessary file and copy it to the destination.

Maybee someone else needs the above script too and let me participate at his
delivery :-)

have a great day
Matthias
