My first answer was easy, but here I confess that I don't know.
Your questions sound reasonable to me. I hope that you can get answers by
somebody who knows better than me.

Reasonable again... I don't know. Perhaps, if you would send the input
file, I could look better into your problem.

Yes, you are right.
