An interesting program, and a nice base in which to build on.
Fortunately the source code is included, else I never would have been
able to use it (it's got a couple of memory allocation bugs).  The
user interface needs a bit of work.  I can see why it didn't get
anywhere as a commercial product.

The main problem (for the casual user) is that it doesn't support the
extra keys on the A500/A2000, and assumes you're using a USA keyboard.
Those two things, plus the bugs (that *will* bite you; they are not
obscure bugs) would make me warn casual users to stay away from the
program.

It's not a total loss of a program, though, because such a thing is
needed, and I don't know of anything else available.  I've been poking
at it for a couple of months now, in between other projects, and hope
to let people see a new version of it soon if there's interest and I
can get the time.
