Bjoern,

 From command line (not Python shell) both scripts (previous and
instant) works great, even under win. As a note, all calculation were
done in Linux, so end of lines in input files are Unix stile. So far
there is no need to change scripts, but I'll have in mind end of lines
note as you mention.

Kind regards

Branko
