Sorry to hear this. AFAIAC, any working script would do. It does not have 
to be release quality ATM. I am pretty familiar with situation, having not

If the problem is taht you have found and old version and just that the 
version you have found in your archive is too untidy for genpop, I would 
be happy just if it completes the task.
