[comp.lang.postscript] Looking for Adrian Aylward or a new verson of POST for Amiga

Does anyone know where or if I can get in touch with Adrian Aylward, author
of the POST PostScript emulator for the Amiga?  There appears to be a bug
in the operation of pathbbox.
Description:
Assume that I have a function that can generate a box-shaped path given the
lower-left and upper-right coordinates, such that
<path-description-commands> pathbbox makebox stroke
draws a box around the path described.  Now execute this line:
200 200 300 300 makebox gsave 30 rotate pathbbox makebox stroke grestore
makebox stroke
This should draw a box at (200,200) to (300,300) and surround it with another
box, right?  It doesn't in v1.5 of POST.  Is there a newer version?  Is this
an undocumented bug? Could someone in the UK get ahold of this guy and try
to figure it out?
Any responses should be directed by email to phys59@jetson.uh.edu as I do not
regularly read all the newsgroups this is being directed to.
Thanks.
