In fact we should collate such informations in some "User Manual"
we lack time to do it even if we know it is important for user
to have it.

Moreover, we did not push too much effort in doc, because some part
of CERTI were moving so we could start writing something
useful when moving parts stabilize.

The time will come :=)

CERTI_FED was meant for what you think in the first place
thus it's definition in the script(s)
However RTIG  source code is not in sync with it :=)

OK,
Thank you for your commitment in testing/using CERTI.
