I haven't tried it out, mainly because the person who was working on this wasn't exactly fluent in English, and I couldn't comprehend exactly what one would need to do to get it working. In any case, the web site for this is at: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/cursed/cursed.html. As I said, the English is pretty bad, but apparently, somebody with a lot of patience might be able to make use of this.
