No idea . . . I stopped using it years ago.

I used it a couple of times and it was reasonably up to date.  I 
haven't tried it recently.

The advantage of hpc is that it is fast and easy and doesn't require a

minimize hassle for my users so that I spend less time on support and 
more time developing the code.
