I meant for this particular project. ;)

It sounded like you had a looming deadline and you might have to sacrifice the
fun way for the way that works.

If you're on Windows, you could probably get the job done using the 1.6.1
binaries: http://recls.org/downloads.html#recls_1_6_1_dm_binaries

If you're on Linux, I'm sorry but I don't know how to do anything on Linux.

I know the official documentation is not right. 

I don't think this particular page will ever be right, but at some point the
page will probably disappear (which would be an improvement in this case). At
least with the Comments pages, fellow users can trade hints and tips when Walter
doesn't have time to fix the official documentation.
