There is a bug in distribution version of GRX20. It has been corrected
since. I don't know when csaba will release next version. You can get
a correct grx20.a/grx20.h shipped with SWORD package (see URL bellow).

Don't know about that.

Yes it is not finished. Most features are correct now. There are still
some (minor) bugs and features missing, but it is on the right way. The
big lack is documentation, of course. Anyway, csaba did a great job.

Hope it helps.
