Wow, I can't speak for everyone, but I'd love to get my hands on that. Could be
a real good program, simple way to generate the kind of baseplates you need. You
never know, you could turn that little program into a real nice little parts

What did you build it under, what program (Visual C++, GCC, ...)?
