Bernhard,

Do you mean beautiful the way the program looks onscreen, or beautiful in the 
results it provides? :-)

Well I didn´t know it 1 year ago - I know that you are very fast with new
versions, however my impression was that these changes are more about
functionality than about the "look" - but I may be wrong... I will be
patient for another year - or, lets say 6 months, if its not beautiful then,
I will remind you... :-)

Greetings Bernhard

You think it's ugly now - you should have seen it a year ago <smile>.

It's improving a lot more rapidly than you realize.  I just did
a count, and there have been 199 releases since March 1999.
That's an average of one new version every 5 days for almost
three years.

I plan on continuing to improve it with a new version every
3 or 4  days.  I don't plan on revolutionary change, but instead
on evolutionary change.

For instance, I'm very close to adding dialog boxes for
file name selection instead of typing file names.
