	Sorry, that was not my point (providing any information), I was
just suggesting the question, you are helping with the answer.
	And yes, I don't know ABM, in fact I just heard about it in this
list, a few days ago.

	To make my question clear: I use for these motives.  Are there
other motives / are these motives incorrect ?  What am I missing ?
