For now, I plan to adhere closely to the spec and get the initial version out :). I agree with Shawn in that letting the tool organically evolve to include new features and bug fixes as required is the best way to go.

Thanks for the link. I think the report will be helpful. I intend to look it over as soon as I get time. School in kinda hectic ATM. > I really hope your project gets approved.
