Here is my script for the official german software to file a tax return "ElsterFormular".

Hi weeman,
Your script look ok, the only slightly strange things are probably remnants of a support for automatic download?
- unused temporary directory, you could drop POL_System_Tmp{Create,Delete}
- POL_SetupWindow_InstallMethod with just one method, doesn't really make sense
- same for test on $INSTALL_METHOD, of course

Usually start /unix is unnecessary, and has a known bad side effect; So if it works without it, better remove it.

That's about it for me...

Hi petch,

I updated the script according to your remarks.

At first I considered an automatically download. But I'm not sure if this would be legal because the user must accept a license before he can start the download.

Here's the new script:

POL_SetupWindow_Close
exit

Yes, I guessed something like that.

Anyway, looking at the new version of the script I missed that you didn't enable integrated debugger support: just add a POL_Debug_Init statement right after POL_SetupWindow_Init
With that change I hope I'm not forgetting anything, and you can submit the script for inclusion into the repository :)

With debugger support:

I'll submit the script soon.

Hallo Michael

is there any possibility to print in Elster the documents or save as pdf ?
