That version is ancient! please try again with the latest version as I
have made some improvements in this area.

Perhaps, but my goal is to be able to cope with all data no matter how
crap it is. That may require a certain amount of pruning and trashing
of the really bad stuff. The old saying of Garbage In Garbage Out is
very applicable here.

The latest rev now reports a download URL.
