    Hi Djamel,
    Thanks for the detailed instructions.  This type of "how-to" is 
    extremely useful
    to those of us without local "experts" to rely on.
    
    One question:  When you talk about commiting to the database, are
    you working with the main brahms DB, or a local copy?   If you
    changing the main DB, isn't there a risk of someone messing up a good
    calibration that is already there?
    
    So far I have only "taken" from the DB so I'm not sure of
    protocols for modifying it.
    
    Regards,
    Steve
