Yup! I sure does work, inbetween crashes that is. I used it to create
and entire screen of image gadgets, and text for Galileo. It took me
less that two hours to do what would've take a couple of days of bit-
twiddling to do. I does generate too many comments though. The source
was over 70K at first, but dropped down to 40K after I dumped all of 
the comments. 

It is a bit cumbersome to use, but once I got the hang if it, it worked
beautifully.
