Hi Reinhard,

the question is if you can access the attachments in the URL's

  http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=606818
  http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=607022

both are names `doc.zip' but include different examples.  If not then
let drop a PM and you'll get a PM with the attached zip archives.

I'll have a look, indeed.
