M p g 2 C u t 2 - Ye OLDE Versions
PRE 2005

Last Revised: 16 July 2008

Hopefully, you won't need these VERY OLD versions,
because they are all out of date.

But if the latest build has taken away something you needed,
you can fall back to one of the versions below.

IMPORTANT NOTE :-

If using these older versions
DON'T save your output to the same Filename as your input !
