That's difficult as I don't have the copyright on any of them. But I'm
happy to mail some to any of you personally.

And... I think the main focus of testing should be regression, i.e. nothing
else breaks. I have done very little of that.

Attached an improved version of the patch including the FIB layout
for Word 2, after a little bird whispered in my ear... ;-)
It doesn't do anything yet, but it's there now.
