Hi Jason,

Well, I did not answer to the Mg2+ question ;-)

As for NAB not dealing with non-linear PB, I may be wrong, it may be
incompatible with some other option... I carried out many tests and
somehow this is what I remember. But I cannot track down now why I think
NAB does not deal with non-linear PB, sorry.

Cheers,

  Miguel
