Although I have no answers to the problems you have found, let me
pose two obvious questions:

1) Have you got the latest version (/pc/pd2/cpath20.zip).  If not,
you can download it eg from our ftp site. 

2) Have you informed the author.  He can be reached by InterNet
email.

Hope these simple points contribute towards an eventual solution. 
Please let me also state a personal opinnion.  I feel that it is
useful for us other users to have any problems in the distributed
programs pointed out in the net, as you did.
