Thanks again Jan.

I just mentioned about the JCE because I can read some documentation
about Api & Reference without restrictions with the following link:

http://www.javasoft.com/cgi-bin/cgi-config/JCESpec.html

I just supposed that whether this document is available, the new one
would be too.

Regards.
