LOL... what is funny is I should have done jsut that as I went wading through all the tools out there. I looked at literally hundreds.... I didn't look at that many on source forge, as most of the descriptions made them sound very limited in their capability.
I'll post my current list of notes and URLs... as you will notice coppermine is on the top 5 :-) I'd like to see it #1. I left a posting on some features I'd like to see, that was done in a different thread. I hope this is helpful to you. :shock:
