Hello Carlos,

It is nothing new.

A) Unicode Version
I have written mostly the same to Jason about a year ago.
I was no big deal to make a first unicode version, about 2 days
(only for d2009/d2010).
(This version is based on 4.8.7 on more than a year old).
Jason has this version of mine.
But he decided to go in another direction.

B) Test Suite
You can found a first Test Suite for IBO on Sourceforge.
Wenn I found some bugs I first write a test for it, then fix it.
But the Test Suite contains only a few cases.
If somebody have written testcode he/she is invited to join the project.
