Hi Maurice,

On 2021-04-14 21:19:56, you wrote to me:

So you want to replace FTN with something else? Good luck with that...

Don't be that Don Quichot fighting the imaginary windmills... ;-)

Your sample is way to small to conclude anything...

I am aware of it, but havent' taken the time to fix it. More important things to do...
