Thank you, Markus. I must apologize for taking your time, and
the lists, over what appears to be a quirk of my new computer.
I have tested the WWP site and my own contribution to it on
two other computers (my former computer at the office and my
home computer) and there was no trouble or delay on either of
them. I will check availability of the required ports when I
get back to the office after our long holiday weekend here in
Japan.
I must say it is very gratifying to see my panorama (of a level
crossing) showing up with all the WWP bells and whistles. Makes
me long for a similar site of my own!
Roger
