Nice :)

Which platform is it?

Thanks, it seems you didn't hit the small amount of very old code that
should be rewritten :)

Apart from df_dok there's no feature test, especially no automatic
verification and iteration through all possible combinations of formats,
flags, caps etc.

Mainly using df_dok and other applications.

A framework for automated tests has been planned, but never realized.
