   I read several bug reports about the new re-write, together with the
request from the current maintainer that the re-write version 1.9.x series
should not be included in Sarge, before I sent my original email.
   I appreciate the work in hand to complete the re-write with improvements,
and would be delighted to see it appear in Sarge when the maintainers are
ready. The earlier 1.3.x version may not be perfect, but it does work for
me, and I have not found any other software that does the same job.
