[Fmpro] European mechanicals

Following Claude Castonguay's request, here are just a few links. 
Chances are these will be cut up by the e-mail software, so you might 
have to patch them together.

If you have material out there, it's always worth checking and comparing 
and asking questions. But as this board has shown, it's a labyrinth with 
surprises. For instance, I now receive money from both Poland and Russia 
(not much admittedly) - still nothing from the US.


Les, before you get too technical on me, I don't have answers to the 
many questions you ask here. But keep asking.
