Recent commentsGreat work!
This has been one of the most useful software
packages I have come across as it has provided me
with a simple means of GUI generation for a
mini-distro of linux I've put together for use on
our company's intranet. It's versatile and has
made leaps and bounds since it's relatively
recent beginnings. Great work Paul and keep it
up, I look forward to some of the upcoming
features.
