Yes, a beautiful tool. Regrettably, I experienced problems when I ran
it on a Windows 98 system.

For simple file operations, I cannot confirm that a StandardFileStream
is left open. However, we have methods that open files but never
close them.
Attached you find a test suite with 7 test examples. test6 fails because
of wrong usage of a MimeDocument, but the other tests are ok for me.
Can you please run these tests on your machine?

Also, I think that example code that runs into problems in your machine
would help us to analyze possible problems.
