Umm. I think you missed the point.

I've been writing "Focus on Software" for almost 4 years now.  The
writeups are about software I've found that are worth taking a look
at/helping out with/just plain using.  I considered your utility a
practical tool, so I mentioned it for my readers who might like to try out
your software (I haven't noticed it as part of any distro yet, so could be
a real gem for some folks in need of a tool like this).

The introductory section of the article is just that and usually has
nothing to do with the software described below.  It's a sounding board,
whatever.  It's normally oriented toward LJ's focus for the month, which
in this particular month was engineering.

Hope that clears up the "relationship" (usually none) between the writeup
and the software blurbs.

Ciao (and thanx for the great utility),

David A. Bandel
