[Jan Stránský <honzik.stransky@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,
sorry for not responding, I am completely out of time until Sep 17. Then I
hope I will have some time on this topic.

@Boon: for the sake of clarity, could you please send once more all the
files that needs to be integrated (even if you have sent them already and
did not do any changes from that time)?
thanks in advance :-)
maybe also those that are already implemented, I did some modifications but
did not test them very much, I am afraid after my modifications the
particles does not work as expected..

cheers
Jan
