I do realise that that is a major problem but I am sorry but that would take me too much time.

Check the book - Revised Precison by John Montgomery 4th Edition. I checked the openings of this system and they are the same as in that book(That is the system i`m currently playing with my partner) The system works very good, although i did not see the what is 1♣-1♦ in the system, + all 1/1 beside 1♦-1nt in that system can be bid with 0+Hcp. 16-18 nt and 19-20 2nt help a lot aswell

Constructing a bidding system is like building a house. All parts should fit if you had liked to build something sturdy. And as you may be well aware off, life is full of choices.

If you read the system then you may understand the choice for 1NT as 16-18. Then you will learn the meaning of the 1NT-rebid by opener in the bidding sequence 1♣ - 1 ♦; 1NT. That's not a 16-18 NT like in classic Precision. The 1NT-rebid is 16+ HP and a 5+ card in diamonds.

You can't have everything.

As you can read in the introduction of our systembook, we studied John Montgomery's Revision Club. It is a well documented and well thought out bidding system. Every serious bridgeplayer should at least read Foreword and Introduction of his systembook.

Our openingbids are the same as in Revision Club. But then the roads seperate.

In fact my pard and I had several sessions with John Montgomery and his pard in 2007 to test our bidding systems.

It's fine to read you like John's Revision Club.

No, only the openingbids are the same, but then the roads seperate.
For instance:
1♣ - 1♥ = 4-4 or 4/5 in the majors and 4-7 HCP

or
1♣: responding 1♠ to 2♦ are transferbids, 0-7 HCP and 6+ card
So on 1C the response of:
1♠ = transfer to ♣
1NT = transfer to ♦
2♣ = transfer to ♥
2♦ = transfer to ♠

The response of 2♠ on an openingbid of 1♣: 4-7 HCP and 5+ card♣ and 5+ card ♦

What do you do with a 5card major and 0-7 after 1♣, bid 1♦?, don`t you lose some of th good thing there if you bid 1M with those hands?

With 0-7 HCP and a 5-card M the response is 1♦. Thereafter opnener will describe his hand.
1♦ is a relay denying several weaks hands:

1♣ - ...:
1♥ = 4-4 M or 5/4 M, 4-7 HCP
1♠ = transfer to ♣, 6+-card ♣, 0-7 HCP
1NT = transfer to ♦, 6+-card ♦, 0-7 HCP
2♣ = transfer to ♥, 6+-card ♥, 0-7 HCP
2♦ = transfer to♠, 6+-card ♠, 0-7 HCP
2♥ = 4-7 HCP, 5+-5+ M
2♠ = 4-7 HCP, 5+-5+ m
2NT = transfer to ♣, 7+ card, 5-7 HCP, points in ♣
3♣ = transfer to ♦, 7+-card 5-7 HCP, points in ♦
3♦ = transfer to ♥, 7+-card, points in ♥
3♥ = transfer to ♠, 7+-card, points in ♠
3♠ = Gambling NT
4♣ = strong and long ♥
4♦ = strong and long ♠

With all the other hands in HK you respond 1♦. Opener has a lot of room to describe his hand. After an openingbid of 1♣ in HK you try opener to become declarer.
