Please, be aware that this project is still in development although
parts of it work. I am working on making the GUI frontend behave
properly under all circumstances. The final version will be uploaded.
However, those who want to have the code as it is at this stage, I am
still coding and debugging, simply have to ask me to upload it.

Thanks.
