developed for my own use, because I couldnt find anything similar
available. Whenever I shared it in discussion groups, I got strong,
positive feedback. Many other people had the same need and liked
what I had put together. Therefore, I decided to make it publicly
available and it became my hobby.p13pFeel free to use it and spread
