Yes, quite extensively.  It takes a LOT of fiddling with the parameters --
I don't think there's much theoretical help;  it's an empirical job.
If you've got specific problems, I'd be glad to offer any suggestions
from my experience.  You should certainly get in touch with Helena
Mitasova at CERL, who wrote it -- she's very helpful.

Good luck.
