I finally copied and printed all the documents that were needed, installed ELSTER and crammed the numbers in. Finding out which official document was the valid one (I had a huge pile of them, partially revoking each other) was a dreary task. I finally figured it out by ordering them by date and cramming the numbers into OpenOffice Calc. Read how I did it…

Therefore I broadened the goal. I want to learn to use my bash and write my own bash scripts.
