I think I would have no problem at all for those lines.  For #4, I  
was thinking about a windows-like installer way: asking what cell to  
join, using a cellsrvdb in bundle or from an url (I don't know if  
it's possible). Anyway, I'm moving to my institutional email now. So  
I'm disjoining as senseiwa and I will answer as  
milicchio@dia.uniroma3.it --- see you soon.
