It has a GUI (a reasonably attractive one) but it doesn't have a good feature
set. I would like to release it, but it takes a lot of energy to do that kind
of work. It's hard for me to find extended periods of time where I can
concentrate. For instance, right now there is a little kid behind me, who is
messing with my phone cords and my ICCA Journals, and digging through my trash
can in search of who knows what.
