Oliver,
You misinterpreted “the tool mentioned” this referred to the Baker /
Lozano hack that the OP mentioned in that thread. It is not a ddkbuild
related tool, I have no problem with those, though I do not use yours since
I have been using Mark Roddy’s ddkbuild for 12 years so it is hard to
convert at this point.
