I'll take that as a complement. Good solutions are usually obvious only i=

Some ppl are working on getting the helper app in Python to work on Windo=

However, it will be somewhat crippled due to deficiencies in the process=20
control capabilities on Python for Windows. I will be writing a helper ap=

that runs against the Windows scripting host (and therefore doesn't requi=

Python) in the next few weeks.

I have a new baby at home, so my spare time is fleeting at best. However =

still use it ;^).
