Roderstein resistor colour codes

can anyone help me with decoding the 5 band [on green base] and 6 band [on blue base] colour band system used on Roderstein [Resista] resistors? I'm sure this is on a website somehwere but my google searches have been in vain so far.

I'm pretty sure roderstein is the same as other resitors for this... aint it?

Band 5 is tolerance,
Band 6 is the thermal coefficient

see here for a demo in Java (very good actually!)

holy cow! I just found this list of links to online resistor colour code calculators: HERE

ah ... that is totally brilliant. Thanks for the help. Now I only have to solder the 92 little items into their appointed positions.
