I have no problem in continuing this discussion in an open forum.  You 
contacted me privately to ask about something I already discussed on the 
forum.  Apart from giving you the essential directions to available 
information (I dont' have anything special about either; asking on the 
forum could have lead to more valuable answers), the only reason of 
privately continuing the discussion for me was to see if you had any 
intention of hiring myself (not a good idea, especially at my working 
email address) or contracting my employer to get help with your issue. 
It is now clear that this was not your intention, so I'm still puzzled 
about the reason you contacted me privately.  I hope this is clear, and 
I hope it's clear (speaking about myself, but I assume many others have 
the same policy) that no aswer is due to anybody, either in the forum or 
privately.  All answers are on a voluntary basis (on the forum); private 
answers are for charge, especially if they imply digging freely 
available and well known documentation out of publicly available 
repositories you've been clearly directed to, or, as in your case, in 
developing custom (likely of no general interest) code.
