No list exists, per se. However, I have tried many of them and found
what works well and what requires some fiddling...I have a new man page
although as fast as Michael improves the code it is probably out of
date - and it's not even released yet ;-)
If you want I will send you the latest man page and be glad to answer any
questions I'm able to...the man page has examples of usage that I employ
in my code.

I recall reading awhile back that it does not but I imagine that Michael
is working on it.
