Hello!

Thanks for Your kind reply, glad that that all this good project is happen.

However , I would like to make a clarification, since I missed it in
my first messague, I am not software developer or programmer, however
I am computer stuff related since long long time ago, so my main help
could be testing, (sadly I have no knowledge to help in C programing),
but try to help in with I could be useful.

Thanks again for such great work and best regards

Javier
