Adalon

2009-11-10 Thread Peter Boughton

I can't get to adalon.net (home of an old Fusebox-related tool).

Does anyone have v3.6 of Adalon which they can either put online, or email me 
offlist with?

Thanks.

I like the visual approach of Adalon. FuseBuilder 4.1 is $395. I don't
know how much Adalon is.

You should try evaluation versions of both, for FuseBuilder you can
create a project online and see how its workflow works for you, for
Adalon you can IIRC request an evaluation license.  I use FuseBuilder
myself.

Re: [OT, Python Quote] Plum vs Fusebox4.1/Mach-II (was RE: Plum vs Adalon?)

2005-02-18 Thread Scott Barnes
To be blunt and i've been on Plum since i think adam invited me ages
past, I really dig the concept and cannot fault it for what its
achieved.

I do however hold back in reservation as simply put: I don't have the
time or energy to inherit something ontop of a language that  has its
own set of problems and issues. I've been thinking a lot as of late on
what i expect out of a framework or extension if you will via the
WEB/COLDFUSION and in the end I just want something light thats agile
enough for me to bolt on anything when it comes to the innerds.

Mach-II is much much more agile then plum in regards to ease of use
and comparing the two is like apples and plums (hehe couldn't resist).

PLUM in many ways is like a Developers CMS / IDE for automated mundane
tasks that we do day in day out and lets face it, get sick of rolling.
When given a project i tend to want to get straight into the hard
part, but like my Guidance Counselor in high school once said do the
easy tasks first, then come back and do the hard ones last as if you
run out of time, you have gotten more work done in the end didn't
understand at the time but daily in CFMX i find myself having to put
in stupid time to get to the point of writing the hard stuff and by
this time (I'm sure others would agree) you're basically over the
concept.

PLUM by appearances (i'm only 1 project in so i reserve the right to
change my un-informed opinion) seems to fast track you through the
crappy tasks and focus on the guts of it all.

I am still hanging out for the day when i can put together an XML
based concept that automates my view/presenter/partial model allowing
me time and energy to focus on the integration part(s) server-side. As
thats where the money is needed the most.

FLEX offers that in some way, and PLUM seems to hint and being in many
ways a similiar alternative (sure technologies are different).

So yeah Mach-II is different in so many ways and i wouldn't bother
trying to compare the two.

(PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN IGNORANT OPINION, I'VE USED IT ON AND OFF BUT
I CAN HONESTLY SAY, I HAVE MORE WORK AHEAD OF ME IN ITS USE hehehe).

Not that I'm defensive :) There are still plenty of sites I've

Maybe the problem is that they're inherently dummies :)

 This surprises me as maintenance in FB is much easier as far as I am

 as a
 properly structured FB app, finding out where an issue is takes about 2
 seconds.

You don't have the .NET Framework V1.1 installed.

If you ever have a problem with Plum, use our support page.  The
Troubleshooter there would have told you in a matter of seconds that this
was your problem and given you a link to download the .NET Framework.

If our Troubleshooter doesn't have the answer for you, it issues you a
Trouble Ticket that we can both track and use to resolve your issue.

We hope you like Plum! :)

Adalon is a great tool that I think everyone should check out to see if it
fits their needs.  However, Plum and Adalon are two very different tools.

If my memory serves me correctly, Adalon is a design tool that generates an
empty set of Fusebox files that have no real functionality -- you handcraft
all that yourself, if I'm not mistaken.

Plum is the most comprehensive ColdFusion development tool and source code
generator ever built, hands down.  To tell you everything that Plum does
would take up too much space for this email, so we prepared this:

http://www.productivityenhancement.com/plum/WhatPlumCanDo.cfm

Plum is free of charge, too, so you can download and use it regardless of
budget.

PLUM is a framework in it's self whilst Adalon is simply a tool for generating 
a fusebox application by generating stub files etc and writing the circuit 
files for you.

From my understanding PLUM went a whole heap further than just writing stub 
files for you,

they're completely different animals!

We're not trying to win over one single Fusebox developer.  We're not
interested in Fusebox's following, its size, or its direction, but we wish
them all the very best.

There is no valid comparison between Fusebox and Plum, as they are two
entirely different things altogether.  Fusebox is, at its most basic level,
a way to organize and call code; Plum is... well, this:

http://www.productivityenhancement.com/plum/WhatPlumCanDo.cfm

You can't use Plum in conjunction with Fusebox or any other framework, as
there would be no need.  There is nothing that another framework could add
to what Plum already has.

What is your (or your users') experience regarding migrating existing

  Plum has a much more comprehensive framework than Fusebox does.

 Maybe so but the following for Fusebox is increasing daily... what are the
 selling points for Plum that would pull someone like myself from Fusebox
 over to Plum or maybe not even over to but rather in addition to?

We're not trying to win over one single Fusebox developer.  We're not
interested in Fusebox's following, its size, or its direction, but we wish
them all the very best.

There is no valid comparison between Fusebox and Plum, as they are two
entirely different things altogether.  Fusebox is, at its most basic level,
a way to organize and call code; Plum is... well, this:

http://www.productivityenhancement.com/plum/WhatPlumCanDo.cfm

You can't use Plum in conjunction with Fusebox or any other framework, as
there would be no need.  There is nothing that another framework could add
to what Plum already has.

I may be off in some details, but it really doesn't.

From what I've seen Plum is basically a code generator.  There's not
much of a framework to it.  I diddled with it for a little while, and
the 'framework' is more a set of custom tags that make it easier to
build forms, do validation, master/detail pages, etc.  Maybe I'm
missing something, but that's what I got out of it.

Re: Plum vs Adalon?

2005-02-17 Thread Joe Rinehart
 If my memory serves me correctly, Adalon is a design tool that generates an
 empty set of Fusebox files that have no real functionality -- you handcraft
 all that yourself, if I'm not mistaken.

Adalon does much more than generate Fusebox stubs.  In fact, that's
just the Fusebox plug-in for Adalon.

Adalon itself is an environment for tracking / defining software
requirements, visual modelling of the application (visual modelling of
an application != visual editing of a database).

From what I understand, a plug-in can then be used to generate stub
code, software documentation, and project documentation.  It so
happens that the currently most used plug-in generates Fusebox stubs.

You're missing 90% of Plum, Joe.

Plum is a *very* extensive product, and has about 400 pages of documentation
that accompany it.  The custom tag library is but a small part of Plum.  The
Plum Framework does quite a lot, I assure you.

Read the documentation in detail (if you have the time) and you'll see what
I mean.  Code generation and custom tags are just a small part of Plum.

There is a lot to Plum, yes, but there is also a lot to the .NET Framework
and J2EE, and you'd need to learn what each of these can really do in order
to make accurate assessments about them.

Plum does quite a bit more in its core framework than either Fusebox or
Mach-ii.

The best way for everyone to assess this is to download and install Plum,
then thorooughly read the Plum documentation.

There's a lot there, but that's what will answer your questions.

  Plum uses Fusebox too?..
 
 Plum has a much more comprehensive framework than Fusebox does.

This is like comparing apples and oranges.  Fusebox is a framework for
organizing your application into logical segments, especially if you
use it in an MVC manner.  As far as I'm concerned, Fusebox is a much
more comprehensive framework that Plum, in that Fusebox provides a
structure for your application.  Plum, on the otherhand, seems to
create an XML file used to generate a bunch of code that makes use of
the Plum tag library.  There's not much seperating between view and
logic, which I think is kind of dangerous.  Of course, please correct
me if I'm wrong.

I can see Plum being useful for basic, CRUD applications, but for
heavy lifting and business logic, I have a fear it'd encourage
spaghetti code and the general let's stick it all in the top of .cfm
page mentality that's caused a lot of headaches.

If you need something that Plum has that your current system doesn't

to look at Plum, get on the Plum Discussion List, and grok away.

We have this:

but there aren't many detail pages finished yet (just the New Plum Project
Wizard demo, in fact).  I'll be adding as time goes on.

I created a downloadable PDF of just the fifty Plum tutorials (which is also
in the Plum help documentation), so you can read through that to get an idea
of the basics (these are just the basics, though).

But there really is no substitute for thoroughly reading the docs and
working with Plum:

http://www.productivityenhancement.com/support/plumhelp/plumhelp.htm

I know it's a lot, but think about the answer to What can developing in C#

And as always I'm looking for suggestions from you, Joe, and anyone else who
has advice.  We really *do* appreciate it.  I just hope I don't come off too
defensive about it all, but I supposed folks understand and don't hold it

May be,... but what if the structure is completely uncomprehensive?

It really does not take that much to get plum. I downloaded it
yesterday and I installed it here on my local machine, and I had no
problems and it was pretty easy to get running, adding new modules,
etc. I am actually going to recommend it to a non profit group I do
some work for on the side. It is good for what it is worth, but you are
not going to understand that unless you download it and install it, and
take the time to try to understand what it does. 

Now I am sure (100 percent positive) that I do not know all that it can
do, and I will take a look at the docs more in the next week or two, but
getting it up and running and understanding the basics is fairly easy. 

Good job on that Adam. It looks great!

 But do take the time to really look through Plum's 
 documentation to see all that it *can* do for you.
 
 If you don't have the time to download and install Plum, you 
 can view Plum's documentation online:
 
 http://www.productivityenhancement.com/support/plumhelp/plumhelp.htm

One nice thing about Adalon and other tools is that there is an
abundance of
tutorial/videos online so people can view the what can x do for you
without installing it, etc... do you guys have anything like that coming
out? I bet that would be helpful in at least getting people to look.. I
know
a lot of us don't like to weed through documentation :-)

 What bugs me with FB is that it takes hours just to figure 
 out in WHICH %$/? template is the piece of code you need to 
 modify. So if maintenance easiness was the concern, they 
 totally missed the point.

This surprises me as maintenance in FB is much easier as far as I am
concerned. If you have proper error/exception handling in place as well as a
properly structured FB app, finding out where an issue is takes about 2
seconds.

I second that one, I have never had a problem finding any errors in any
FB code I have written. Usually the error or the debug is more then
enough.

As for maintenance, it depends on if you inherited the site after some
@*^$ got finished applying his new knowledge from ColdFusion for
Dummies and figured they should write the app in FB because they heard
about it on some website, heh.

Then the problems come in :)

We can go on about that one

Again, I disagree. If the FB app is structured properly and you can read
down through a circuit file, it should be a matter of adding a couple fuses

it is even faster. Do you even use FB?

Re: Plum vs Adalon?

2005-02-17 Thread Spike
 
  You can't use Plum in conjunction with Fusebox or any other
  framework,as there would be no need.  There is nothing that
  another framework could add to what Plum already has.
 

That statement nicely sums up a couple of resons why I will probably 
never use Plum. In its current form at least.

If I can't used it in conjunction with Fusebox or any other framework it 
  must be putting some pretty severe restrictions on the freedom I have 
to make decisions about how to structure my application.

Assuming that another framework couldn't add to what Plum does is pretty 
arrogant and not a little bit short sighted.

As a simple example, how well does Plum cover the things provided by a 
framework for simplifying the use of Event gateways?

I have downloaded and looked at Plum a couple of times. I didn't care 
for the structure of the applications it generated and I didn't like the 
code it generated either.

That's not to say it isn't a great tool. It's just not something that I 
can see providing *me* with anything other than frustration.

The specific things I don't like:

* I dislike code generation wizards. They assume too much and are 
practically impossible to build in a way that doesn't do that.
* I dislike anything that auto-generates code unless I have control over 
the templates for that code generation.
* I distrust anything that presumes what the directory structure for my 
application should be without knowing anything about the application itself.
* Once I have created the application structure using Plum I am 
effectively on my own when it comes to editing it.
* If I want to customize the auto-generation code for something like a 
form I need to modify some of the core Plum files. What happens if I 
upgrade Plum to a new version, or if I make a change that has an 
unexpected consequence elsewhere in the Plum framework?
* There is little in the way of data encapsulation. Shared scope 
variables are used widely throughout the core files rather than being 
passed in as attributes to custom tags, so if I create a variable in one 
of the shared scopes I can easily introduce a bug which affects the 
framework.
* In the few times that I have played with Plum I have always got the 
uneasy feeling that it would be easy for a client to introduce a 
requirement after the initial project release that would require the 
modfication of some of the Plum core files. Without understanding 
exactly what the entire framework does internally that exercise could be 
very prone to introducing bugs.

Essentially my unease boils down to the feeling that Plum does too much 
in the way of generating application code and too little in the way of 
providing powerful APIs that can be extended and used by a developer 
without ever needing to know how the internals work.

Re: Plum vs Adalon?

2005-02-17 Thread Joe Rinehart
Adam,

I'm not trying to attack Plum.  If I was, I'd say something silly and
offensive.  My observations come after using Plum, trying it out, and
taking some of its guts apart.

 The way it works,
 what it contains, how applications are organized, and how Plum applications
 are written.

The way it works simply isn't what I'd find ideal.  There's so
seperation of logic - a page is responsible for both is view and its
business logic, making that an atomic capsule.  If Plum generated
data access and possibly business object CFCs for the tables it
represented, and its tags instead used those, I could then at least
reuse the business logic and data access portions elsewhere without
having to reinvent the wheel.

This is a step backwards from the point of frameworks like Fusebox and
Mach-II, and is exactly why Plum can be compared to neither.  Plum
generates code that maintains a status quo of spaghetti code,
requiring custom business logic to be spread throughout the
presentation layer.

 Please, before you go spreading FUD due to a lack of understanding, please
 either seriously learn about the product

I'm not spreading unfounded FUD - I've looked at your product in fair
depth.  I'm not going to delve into a technical discussion of its
mechanics, but I've examined them in detail.

I've been using Plum since the first public beta.  I haven't done
anything terribly complicated with it, but I've built some basic CRUD
and master/detail applications with verity searching, and played with
content management, which is what I imagine most Plum users would find
to be about their extend of its use.

 Try not to prejudice others who haven't even looked yet.

Anyone who puts a product into the open marketplace must expect find
opinions contrary their own marketing.   As some say, any publicity
is good publicity.

As I said earlier, I can see Plum being useful for basic, CRUD
applications.  And I can.  It's mind-numbingly easy to create simple
or master/detail CRUD app.  However, what I think is missing is a
plug-in point where I can add business logic to my business units
without having to continually reinvent the wheel.  I really think Plum
could be quite powerful if it looked into using CFC-based
representations of the tables it acted upon.

This is a complete aside, but shouldn't the owner of generated code
be the developer using it?  As it is, every generated page comes out
This code is Copyright (c) 2004 by Productivity Enhancement, Inc. 
I'm not sure if you meant to do this, but the legal implications of
this are enough to bar me from commercial use.

With respect,

Joe

 You're missing 90% of Plum, Joe.

Adam, you're very much underestimating what I've done with Plum.  I
wouldn't talk about it if I hadn't looked at it in great detail.  I've
probably looked at the docs more extensively than most of your users,
examined the custom tag library, used tools like the component and
storedproc generator, read the Plum methodology (I think FLiP has you
beat), and I can even tell you what Help node is simply labelled
Psych!.  I took a great interest in Plum in its Beta stages because
it similar to something I was thinking of releasing.

This post asked for a comparison between Plum and other frameworks /
tools.  I wouldn't add my opinion if I didn't feel I was informed
enough to have one.  I'm probably in a better place to compare FB and
Plum than most users of either.  Because my opinion doesn't match
yours is no reason to call me ignorant or uninformed.

Re: Plum vs Adalon?

2005-02-17 Thread Spike
I would agree with everything Joe says here.

Plum certainly has it's place in the market. How big that place is I 
don't know, but I'm sure a lot of people will find it useful to them.

Having written a few frameworks myself and used quite a few others I 
know what works for me and a fundamental requirement is that ease of 
maintenance should be a primary consideration for all aspects of the 
application. That's why I share Joe's concerns about the commingling of 
display and business logic. If any application logic has to be repeated 
in multiple places maintenance becomes more difficult, but often the 
only way to avoid that is to build abstraction into the core of the 
application. Unfortunately Plum doesn't really allow for much in the way 
of abstraction and actively gets in the way in a lot of cases.

The downside of all that abstraction is that it takes more time and 
effort to get the thing built in the first place, and documenting the 
application becomes more important. If you get it right though, it 
*always* seems to pay for itself in the long run.

The market reality is that a lot of people could care less about 
abstraction of logic and building for maintenance. They have app 
requirements and they need the app done quickly. Often, even if they do 
have the time to build the app, they often don't have the experience to 
know what will work and what won't. Without having your fingers burnt by 
experience a few times it is very difficult to know beforehand whether 
an approach is a good one or not.

This, of course is only opinion based on *my* experience, not fact. If 
you disagree you no doubt have your own reasons and I'm certainly not 
going to tell you you're wrong. Unless you're working for me of course ;)

Oversight on our part.  The copyright should just appear in the pre-fabbed

 From my observation and in regards to past threads on Plum, it seems
 like they still cannot accurately say who they are targeting with this
 product. It surely isnt targeted at developers.

It's targeted to any developer who wants to use it.  Why are you so
concerned with our targeting a market?

 If the FB app is structured properly and you can read

It is not the fact that the app is structured properly or not; As a matter of 
fact, 
I think it is.
The problem is with the concept of the structure itself: it is sometimes 10 
times more complicated
than the whole application itself.
- too many files are included,
- templates names are almost never explicit, but in variables defined 5 or 6 
includes back,
- when you look at the source code, find what's wrong, it takes hours to figure 
out which actual template
the code comes from.

down through a circuit file, it should be a matter of adding a couple fuses
and away you go.

The problem is that I'm no electrician, just a programmer ;-)

 just wondering if this is a case where if someone was then they could 
follow it easily.

This may very well be true, and this is exactly the trouble.
A good CF application, I'd say ANY application written in ANY language,
should be easily followed by any one who is good enough in the language.
If he needs to learn some dialect above the language, plus a religion about the 
language,
then it makes everything complicated for nothing and maintenance more difficult.

The second point is that I'm not convinced that it makes things easier even for 
those
familiar with the framework, even if they all claim it does.

As far as Plum from what I gathered in the descriptions, it actually

 language, should be easily followed by any one who is good 
 enough in the language.

I don't think you will find anyone who disagrees with that! However, keep in
mind that there are many ways to achieve the same end result in programming
so even though you might have a decent command of the language, you may run
into times when you don't follow the approach because you would have chosen
a different one yourself. For instance, I use Fusebox with application A and
you come along and say you don't know what the hell is going on that
does not mean either of us is any less of a programmer, it simply means we
do not agree on the approach taken even though there is nothing wrong with
the approach that was taken! You follow me? You can't discredit an
application or the ability to easily follow it just bacause you are not in
favor of the approach.

 If he needs to learn some dialect above the language, plus a 
 religion about the language, then it makes everything 
 complicated for nothing and maintenance more difficult.

I would say that if you are not open to learning above and beyond the first
5 chapters of the CF WACK then you are in the wrong field. There will ALWAYS
be better ways to do things and shorter, faster, more efficient means to
reach the end. Not everyone is going to code like you nor can you expect
that. Either expand your knowledge and deal with the fact that the ability
to do things differently exists or refrain from making such ridiculous
claims such complicated for nothing and maintenance more difficult. I
have worked on many applications, not necessarily Fusebox related whereby
they were solid and easily maintained and expanded and some not so. Same
goes for FB apps.
 
 The second point is that I'm not convinced that it makes 
 things easier even for those familiar with the framework, 
 even if they all claim it does. 

I am not sure you are in position to even make such a claim considering your
have very little experience with Fusebox. I would also venture to say that
the people who do use Fusebox would disagree with you about the framework
NOT making things easier. It sure does make things easier and more organized
or people wouldn't use it!

Are you looking at FB4? The only included files there come from the circuit
files or the parsed fuseactions which you do not directly access anyway
so not sure how this is a valid point.

 - templates names are almost never explicit, but in variables defined 5 or
6 includes back,

Interesting... 

qry_selectRegisteredUsers.cfm
act_sendNewsletter.cfm
dsp_confirmation.cfm

What is so hard about the above names?

 - when you look at the source code, find what's wrong, it 
 takes hours to figure out which actual template the code comes from.

That could stem from one of two things: a poorly structured FB application
or an uninformed developer in regards to FB.

Right on, Mike.  Fusebox is a tool, like a hammer.  Any tool is only

accidently destroy your thumb as it is to hammer in a nail.

Using a tool like Fusebox, Mach-II, or even (ok, I'll say it) Plum at

point.  The flipside of that is that you have to know how to use the

It'd be a weirdly built world if we all used our own hammers built our own way.

the app... (following the framework).

9 years, none of which touch on FB... so how can you justify making comments

comparing your experience against your assumptions of the framework...
doesn't make sense.

I particularly enjoyed the use of the word 'uninitiated'.

I'm familiar with Fusebox, where's my robe since I'm an initiate?!?

At any rate, after having used Fusebox 3 for the last 6 months on a number
of already developed apps, I can say that there are good ways and bad ways
to build a Fusebox application, but nor am I sold on Fusebox as a solution I
would specifically choose.

However, I would choose Fusebox over no framework/methodology.

 Adam, you're very much underestimating what I've done with Plum.  I
 wouldn't talk about it if I hadn't looked at it in great detail.  I've
 probably looked at the docs more extensively than most of your users,
 examined the custom tag library, used tools like the component and
 storedproc generator, read the Plum methodology (I think FLiP has you
 beat), and I can even tell you what Help node is simply labelled
 Psych!.  I took a great interest in Plum in its Beta stages because
 it similar to something I was thinking of releasing.
 
 This post asked for a comparison between Plum and other frameworks /
 tools.  I wouldn't add my opinion if I didn't feel I was informed
 enough to have one.  I'm probably in a better place to compare FB and
 Plum than most users of either.  Because my opinion doesn't match
 yours is no reason to call me ignorant or uninformed.

9 years, none of which touch on FB... so how can you justify making comments
about the Framework?

I just said I was upgrading a FB application. So at least I have an example.
Does it take years to understand and know the principles of FB?
Then how can it help?

Well it would seem that after 9 years of coding, when you encountered
something you obviously knew little about, you would spend some time trying
to understand it before making the kinds of statements you've been making.
It is apparent you have not taken any significant time to learn anything
about Fusebox. Personally, I think you are just being an ass because you
realize that Fusebox could be beneficial but you aren't up to speed on it
so you are putting up this transparent defense by dissing it all afternoon.
I am not defending it anymore so you can justify your inability to take 30
minutes out of your seemingly busy day to maybe head over to fusebox.org and
enlighten yourself! I have taken enough time to know that for me, it is
beneficial.

Enjoy!

Dave: The fact that their app contains an extra switch/case or three
over a non-FB app is unlikely to have any material impact on their
uptime or performance. Assuming they have problems (I just browsed
around and everything seemed snappy), they're far more likely to be
just like everyone else's problems... DB bottlenecks, unexpected
subscriber growth, intentional or accidental DoS, etc.

Anyone using Adalon from Synthis? Any comments on the product? I haven't
used it in over a year, but when I did, it seemed to be a good way to
keep the development of a CF Web App nice and organized. I see version 3
is due out soon... Just trying to get some up to date feedback.

version 3 has been 'due' for the same amount of time you haven't been
using it for. I used it extensively in fb3 days but haven't seen any
compelling reasons to use it since fb4 support was limited, which is a
shame since it was a great tool.

We have asked that people in the Fusebox community provide us feedback on
what type of functionality you would like to see in He3 to better support
development of Fusebox applications. To date we have received very little
feedback, which also explains why He3's support for Fusebox is less than
that of Mach-II.

I will be speaking at the Fusebox conference next month and look forward to
engaging the community as much as possible.

He3 could contain any functionality the CFML community finds appropriate.
I've never used Adalon, so I can't comment on it or whether features found
in it could show up in He3. However, if you're willing to provide me with
what you are looking for then we will certainly take it under advisement.

In regard to diagramming specifically, I saw Jeff Peter's Fuseminder
application at CFUN and that seems like a worthwhile tool.

RE: Adalon

2003-11-13 Thread Tangorre, Michael
I have used it heavily in the past, for pieces of projects. Unfortunately it
is not a tool I can afford to buy out of pocket and I could never convince
an employer to purchase it (yet) :-)
It is extremely helpful in organizing your CF project as well as documenting
it. Id highly recommend checking it out and getting on the phone with a rep
(I have had great communication with Bjorn...hopefully I can throw a PO at
him one of these days).

Adalon experience

2003-08-14 Thread Sparrow-Hood, Walter
Does anyone have any experience using Adalon 2.6 in the CFMX alpha mode (
i.e. not using the Fusebox or Struts skins)?  Does anybody have any opinions
in general about the software?  Are there any other similar packages
available?

RE: Adalon experience

2003-08-14 Thread Jeff Lucido
Walter:

I have been using Adalon for most of my larger projects for almost two
years. I really have gotten to rely on the ease of use of creating
application layouts and the mapping of the application process. I
recently started using the MX version and I am pretty impressed. I
would highly recommend the application, it is an invaluable asset in my
development toolbox.
