BTW for an historical perspective RMoD me and igor were also involved far less than the effort of alain but as he mentioned it we collaborated on it. I spent time on documenting several versions and I stopped disgusted to see the total lack of attention for comments. Then Rmod paid nearly a year of effort on Athens, SDL20 support, a year on TxText. I find really strange that we are not even mentioned in any support.
