I sent two bug reports to Heiko some years ago and he fixed the bugs
in the Perl version. The author of the C version did not reply to the
bug reports I sent to him and the files on CTAN are still from 2001.
Gerben, the version we currently have in TL is yours. This is up to
date and I do not see any good reason to replace it by anything else
at the moment.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
