OK, thanks. I thought that might be the case. Glad to hear from someone
who's used it. Like you say, it looks like it works pretty well!

Maintenance happens when the maintainer is told there is a bug. That
hasn't happened in a while (almost three years), so there's been no need
for updates.
At the moment I am upgrading my modeler to use polygons with more than
four sides, and I'm rewriting my macro suite to go with it. There will
be an appropriate announcement when it's ready to be seen in public.
Regards,
John

I've ended up putting my meshes through the NSSS macros, and they're
working great for me. Thanks for quelling my fears about maintenance; it
looks like I spoke too soon in my first post.
