100	16h50	Idem						we're getting messages as if we were using Gismo...
16h52		exit from PAKO and relog with PAKO2012 to see if it solves this
101	16h52	Idem						still get message as gismo
16h53		Exiting and trying to log as t21
102	17h01	Idem
17h06		back to nikas-14 in PAKO. Its makes no difference but the catalogs are up to date
