[ltp] 600x and tpctl?

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Dear Thomas,

thanks for your reply and I do appreciate it to be answered by the
creator of the program.

However,at present I am quite pressed in time in the workplace and will
postpone my tpctl endeavours for a month or so. I still keep a windoze
partition for cases of emergency.

Regards,
Boyan
