I sincerely apologise. It was not my intention to sound rude. I will be
more careful hearafter in how I word things.

And so have I, and I am grateful for all the work that has been done which
I think is absolutely marvellous!

In fact I have gone through source code and TS in detail, and experimented
for some months. This is the part that was most tricky and where I could
not find any documentation. Hence my request.

As you will see, I have also at times tried to help out others on this list
who are struggling like me. I hope to do more in time.

For the moment I am trying to port OsmocomBB to Windows with some initial
success, but am presently stuck on this part. I hope to share the code as
soon as I can bring it to some level of stability.

My apologies again!
