Thank you Helmut. Just what we needed, all in one place.

I now request that each of us start looking at the issues and find those they feel competent enough to dig further and either verify the correctness of Helmut's code or suggest changes.

This is a necessary task if we, as a Center blessing the releases of BlackBox, are to be taken seriously.
