Thanks for doing the investigation. It's all interesting facts. However, we don't plan on supporting installation of multiple versions of THG, so it's probably not worth spending time in. Maybe we should get back to this when we have spent enough time on those higher on the list? > I do have TBZR installed, and it shows nice overlays on "clean" files.
