Ok, I think, I found something for you.... I tried the old Version 1.004 from your website. This is what I got:

...and for the sake of completeness:

So, the older Version is ok. It seems to be the new package, as you already thought. I hope you can find something in these outputs. I will try to install the 1.005, if you have any further ideas,... I am willing to try it out.

Many thanks for the Help so far.

PS: Sorry sorry, for this monsterous post.

Ok, I tried it.
