Re: ScrollKeeper seriesid

[Paul Sprencz <ps baum ro>]

Hi,

You have right about that the seriesid of omf files was not changed after we 
coopied the files. Sorry for this problem. We are not expert in the help 
documents  specification and writing. 
We changed this seriesid, changes on CVS head, now gnopernicus and brlmonitor 
have a new seriesid's. Please help me if need to do any other changes into 
the gnopernicus or in brlmonitor omf files and xml files that to be standard.

Thank you very much.
