Hello andrew.

That's what I meant, actually. In a way, it's graphical, though (ascii
graphics), so the use of the term is not entirely incorrect, although it's
not the traditional use of it.

 ac> It should be an external program to Squish though.

That would be fine. It'd mainly be a configuration/routing/maintenance tool
that ties all the Squish utilities together. Some of the utilities could
use updating as well, like SQINFO and SQFIX. You can only check/fix one
base at a time, you can't check your entire base for errors and have any
grungeded ones automatically fixed.

As I said, that's an afterthought. There are a couple open source tickers out there.
