Hi Andre, 

Thanks for the deltaiso executable, it works great. From the notes on
'what to test' part[1], I spent some time reading the explanation from
the two mails you linked to finally find these executables. Then I think
if it would be more convenient if there's a direct link to them saying
that people who use F-15 deltaisos on F-14 system need them? And the
explanation can be put into delta iso page[2] as you've already done. 

How do you think?   

Thanks,
Hurry
