If this does not conflict with any other language I can add it permanently.

What is this? Looks pretty low level to me: \doublesidedprinttrue is not a

Pdfdoc encoding is never to be activated since it is only needed for low

you may try \environment setup

no lowercase names since it may clash!

\def\stretched% slightly adapted to handle spaces
  {\ifvmode\hbox to \hsize\else\ifinner\else\hbox\fi\fi
   \processtokens\relax\hss\relax{\hss\hss}}

\hbox to 5cm{\stretched{Hi There}}

there is also: 

\stretcheduppercase{Hi There}

and in the next release: \stretchedlowercase and \stretchednormalcase

I don't know. Your file runs ok here. In order to check it I need a minimal
example + log + pdf file.
