This works ok, I used 1,3,2,4-9! but then some things doesnīt work ok, 
maybe I can figure out why.

1,2,3,1-9! doesnīt seem to work, the tmp files are not proceeded the
right way (normally one file goes to all passes, here after the first
3 passes a new tmp file is created, the changes of pass 1-3 are
discarded (so it seems to me).

#include "news/*.dat"

includes every file two times??? What are the other solutions? ;-)

Thanks,
