Hi Jean-Pierre,

It works great on my side. The only comment I have is when we click on the
"Default 3D Path" button, nothing seems to happen. I suggest writing the
value of KISYS3DMOD into the path textbox.

This should be included into the stable release. Then, it will be easy for
anybody to keep their libraries up to date and it will simplify the
librarian's duties.
