Hi Jack,
I appreciate your input. No need to leave. I guess the only reason I
thought it would be good is for non-power users. Give them one stop shopping.
LPub already has pretty big external program dependency list. I've spent a lot

complicated if the user has to go out and get these three plug ins to get what
has become standard issue.
As I said, generably valuable and with the inventor's permission, plus
acknowledgement of the inventor in documentation.
