Tend to agree, but this focus on the (technical) solution is not what it is about, maybe. I think $Revision$ renders a file revision like "1.47," which is not very helpful. It is the (most recent!) {tree} tag that we would need; as far as I know there is no explicit keyword for this. Major thing

Hi Pascal, I see I need just a little bit more patience :-) The switch - if defined, of course (!) - does exactly what it says: It makes scid bail out after it has found maxCorrections. This saves time. This means that it handles issue (2) from my previous posting. So, indeed my proposal is in
