   Thank you very much for your kind offer.   
      
   My intentions are to finish documenting all the stuff we've found over the   
   last couple of weeks and then release a new version of the guide. Once that's   
   done, I'll probably think about re-formating the document because it's now   
   evolving into a User Guide rather than the original idea of an Installation   
   Guide. Once I've made my mind up how to do it, I'll be in touch.

   You need to copy the packed nodediff file to the "DistribNL" directory every   
   time a new one arrives. Same applies to new pointdiff files.
