Rene Ladan (added to the Cc: list) wanted to write about csup too, if my memory does not fool me. Gabor and Rene had a discussion about this, so before you spend a lot of time writing a long description of csup, maybe it would be a good idea to talk to Gabor and Rene. I'm glad that you are willing to help with the doc updating section. We can always use a bit of help with the documentation :-) Cheers, Giorgos
