Most certainly does.

Two versions, actually.  I've got to get both versions and compare
them.  Here are the addresses (from the TUGboat):

Kettler EDV-Consulting
POBox 1345, D-8172 Lenggries
Federal Republic of Germany
Phone (49) 8042 8081

and

Edgar Fu\ss
Tools, Ltd.
Kaiserstra\ss e 48
5300 Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany

For those who can't read TeX, Kaiserstra\ss e look something
like KaiserstraBe, only the B is an ess-tset.

I suspect the Amiga will be faster than either of these,
because I've spent a significant amount of time recoding
various routines in machine language, improving the library,
etc.  But we'll see.
