Dear Roberto,

I am glad you like that paper.

Indeed, we found that ppl's performance is very good quite often.  Since
polymake version 2.13 ppl can be used as one of several convex hull codes.  It
is very good for us to have one more efficient and reliable code at hand for
this essential task.

We will keep you posted.

Best regards,
Michael
