DPP: Is there any other way to get focus points?

I am through with DPP.  I have a very fast PC with two 2TB SSD and a modern GPU.  I have tried all the posted cures to make DPP usable.  Canon should be ashamed to have this POS as their "go to" app.  I am now using Photolab as my RAW processor.  What I miss is finding the focus points used for my images.  Is there any other app besides DPP that shows those points?

Thanks

p.s.  Is there any way to get a very very old version of DPP.  Maybe years ago it was a simpler app that might run more smoothly.

DPP will display the same active AF points that your camera can.  The key word here being active. 

If the AF system is not active when the shutter was fired, then no active AF points will be displayed, even though the lens is focused. 

Using BBF can create this scenario.

What does that have to do with my question?  I am asking if there is another app.

Everything. If you don’t have any active AF points, then there is no data to display.
