Probably. I have that version, and it does delete the current version,
and unpack and run the new one.

However the (anonymous, German) author of that version, heavily
modified from John's original, specifically asked that questions or
comments about this version should not be posted here, but instead to
c.s.a.apps.

I suggest we take it there, where I will be pleased to try to explain
how to configure that version, which involves changing some if its
obey files. That is, if it's still of interest to anyone. It's
certainly off-topic here.

With best wishes,

Peter.
