Maybe others can provide additional information or have current
experience that can add to this list. You can thank Inci Bowman, Cathy
Atwood, and others who provided some of this information after I recently
received an inquiry from Arnold Dreyblatt (formerly from Berlin, now in
Munich) about some of this information that has been discussed on the
list before.
