So many in fact that not making his findings available to the public would have been a deadly sin ;-). So we made a little HOWTO. And here it is....Here is the patch mentioned in the HOWTO.

As this format is not exactly to everybody's liking and I recently found a good tool to convert most word stuff into something sensible I did exactly that with the ToPIC word file.
