I added the /nopopup switch that can be used to tell dqsd to write to a
file and open in the default browser.
Please give it a go..

Hi Monty,
Can you please make it optional to write to an html
file?
I'm using Firefox with tabs and I like the old
behavior because it would show up in a tab. This new
way opens up a new window in IE - ick!!! I don't like
IE and I don't like new windows popping up all over my
screen.
Thanks,
Brent
