It might, but in my experience it doesn't. I've tried using it
three times, and each time it bombed out somewhere. I tried for
a few hours to get past the problems each times, and finally
gave up on it. It's a nice idea, but suffers in the implementation.
It's been a year or so since I used it, so things may be better
now, but I can't recommend it.
