I wasn't expecting you to integrate any mods I might suggest for 
quite some time. I was hoping if I made an addon for 1.4 I might

I don't know either but now I can investigate that tooo! (this is great)

I will investigate with the above and gladly report back to you.

I'm not sure what a diff-Nur is but I'll do a google & see if I can

Gilles, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. I'll be in touch.
