Thanks for an extensive feedback, Andrei! I've followed up 99% of 
fixes given here[1], but unfortunately I'll be unavailable for 
the rest of the day, so I'm passing the torch (or the hot potato) 
to Ilya.

I've done the coding, but couldn't have done it without Ilya's 
consulting, so I put the 'Mir team' there. Hope thats ok.

There are specs shown at the top of the post, so I thought it 
would be best just to remove the "On my machine part". Again, I 
hope that's alright.

As I've demonstrated, I'm quite unexperienced with writing. :) 
So, thanks for the feedback, I've learned a lot! If I catch some 
time during the day, I'll be sure to take another glance at it!
