Hi Olévié,

It's not my document.  Nicolas did the work.  His e-mail is in the list
archive at
http://lists.ncuc.org/pipermail/ncuc-discuss/2015-March/017071.html. 
The attachment on which I commented is
http://lists.ncuc.org/pipermail/ncuc-discuss/attachments/20150328/40504416/attachment.obj;
you must save it as .doc.  Please send any comments to him.

De rein. Mais c'était le produit de Nicolas.  Tu peux voire son message
sur l'histoire de la liste a l'URL
http://lists.ncuc.org/pipermail/ncuc-discuss/2015-March/017071.html. 
Mes remarques étaient sur le document attache de le message, qui est
situé a l'URL
http://lists.ncuc.org/pipermail/ncuc-discuss/attachments/20150328/40504416/attachment.obj. 
C'est un document "MS-Word"; tu doit changé le nom ".obj" vers ".doc"
pour l'ouvrir.


S'il te plait, dirige tes remarques sur le document a Nicholas...
