Well, I'm working on the next release. It will be there soon.
In the meantime you can use the present version with the following
changes (as posted before to this list):

Make the following changes in tmac.present:
    line 413
        .nr pg*footer-size 3
    to
        .nr pg*footer-size 3v
    line 417
        .nr pg*footer-size \\$
    to
        .nr pg*footer-size (v;\\$1)

This solves the problem with the recursive call of address@hidden

But the header on the first page is ''%''.
This is caused by a bug in the mm macros
Make the following change in gm.tmac:
    line 1409 (macro VM)
        .el \{
    to
        .el \{\

This last change also resolves problems with ps2pdf (at least it is
working here).

If you applied these changes and still encounter some problems,
please let me know.
