   Hello Martin!

   Probably because very few English users were using OXP?     
   Considering that Z2PNT is documents a large community of users,     
   I would assume that point-use is still a very Euro-thing.

    MF> find the right words. Perhaps "Update with diff" or "Use   
    MF> diff to update" or maybe something else?   
      
   I would suggest one of my earlier suggestions, including this     
   one:   
      
   "Enable DIFF processing"
