Perhaps it would be useful to see the output of the transformation performed by your tool. Like you said, one option might be to replace the usage of heat+tool to just heat if the newer version of heat can produce acceptable output without additional processing.
I'm fairly certain that the newer version of heat does not have the ability to produce the old output. Edwin G.
