Hi Sascha and Volker,

Thanks for your prompt replies!

1) It is an excellent idea to have the reduction available as a verse
client! I have nothing against that, I was just wandering if it would
be possible to have it as a library as well :-).

2) I mean that there are two figures labeled "Communication using a
Simplify Server in between", although the latter one presents
something very different.

Regards,
	Lauri
