Hans kindly translated the protocol documentation into English.

As an aside, a few months ago I tried the Altavista translation service,
as follows. I took a few sentences from a philosophical text by Jacques
Derrida which I happened to be reading, and set the software to translate
from French to English. The results were laughable. Admittedly however,
this text would also be difficult for a human being to translate.

Incidentally, are there any freely available translation products for
Linux? Are there any German and English dictionaries in a form that can be
read from within the Linux environment. I find that modern CD-ROM
applications are problematic in so far as they will only operate under
MacOS or MS-Windows.
